    Default Davis sewing machine

    I am looking for anyone with any knowledge of Davis sewing machines. I recently acquired a Davis Unique Model H sewing machine. It did not have a manual or a shuttle. I was wondering if anyone here might know where I might be able to find a shuttle that will work with it & maybe a time frame for the machine. I have searched the model # but can't find any information on it. Thank you!

    I don't know this brand. But, there is a section of this board that is for antique machines that has persons who are very good at all of the machines. Perhaps you should post this on that section. Okay? Just look at all the titles on the lineup, it mentions machines in the title.

    This is a great idea.

    I have a couple of Davis machines. but not H. Yes a repost to vintage machines would be in order. IS it a transverse shuttle or a vibrating shuttle? Leaf tension?

    As usual, my reply is to Google it! Seems it was once a Sears machine.
