Antique RAYMOND 1861 CAST IRON Hand Crank SEWING MACHINE
This is a wonderful antique sewing machine made by Charles Raymond, probably at his Guelph, Ontario manufacturing facility. Raymond was a Vermont native who moved to Canada in 1861 to avoid American patent law. The machine is made of cast iron and appears to be in very good working condition. Aesthetically, most of the paint is intact as is the floral decoration on the bed – there is some fading/wear or loss to decoration on the edges but this is quite minimal given the age of this machine. I think that this is a chainstitch machine, but not being a sewer, I will leave this to the collectors to determine from the pictures. The plate is stamped “Patd July 30, 1861″ which refers to Raymond’s last American patent for an improved sub-platform looper. The machine measures 7 ¾” in height and weighs 6 lbs and 14 oz. I would think that this is a rather difficult to find machine in this condition. I’ve taken a lot of close-up photos, but if you have any questions, please e-mail me…excellent antique cast iron sewing machine….Please click on any photo in order to enlarge……reasonable reserve….and please be sure to view my other auctions for more interesting vintage and antique items, all collected from a number of good quality local estates….
IMPORTANT INFORMATION – PLEASE READ:
PLEASE NOTE: BUYER PAYS SHIPPING – PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL I CONTACT YOU AFTER THE AUCTION to avoid error. The reason for this is that package sizes and weights are estimates only as we cannot fully package items before they are sold. Please e-mail us for a shipping quote or wait until after the auction for a precise shipping cost. Our auctions end on Sunday evening, so I will be in touch with the correct invoice by Monday afternoon, after we have had the chance to carefully package your item.
I am now shipping to my US clients through USPS services. I am located in Canada but I now have a carrier service to bring my parcels directly across the border on Thursdays to be shipped out of the USPS postal outlet in Champlain, N.Y. In addition to the actual shipping cost, I do charge a $4.00 handling fee to cover the cost of this special US service. Please note that even with the handling fee that it is less expensive and is a quicker service than using Canada Post. If you wish your item to be shipped by USPS in the same week, I would require your paypal payment by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time.
PLEASE NOTE: For items which sell over $200.00, I must ship to my U.S. clients using Canada Post, this is due to customs regulations.
To my Canadian clients, I use Canada Post for shipping, as I am based in Canada – legally, I am not permitted to ship to you through the US, so do not rely on the US shipping calculator for costs.
To my International clients I can ship by either Canada Post or by USPS (in order to use USPS for intl. clients – the items must sell for under $200.00).
Please feel free to write with any inquiries in regards to cost of shipping to you.
I would request any client to get in touch with me upon winning an item, who is NOT able to pay by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, so I can get an idea of when to expect your payment.
