Ok, this time I need help identifying my new machine.....
Yeah, I'm at a loss at this point. Still researching, but no matches yet.
I just won this on the auction site of doom. It was actually an accident. I had a limit in mind, and was about to up my bid to that at the last second when the icon buttons changed from the number I wanted, to about 100 more.... Just as I clicked... sigh.
I am however VERY glad I got it.
1. Ceramic handle means most likely German (or Canadian)
2. Has it bobbin and shuttle!!!!!!!
2. looks to be around the 1870's time frame.
4. the scalloped edge of the needleplate is too cool
5. love the molded in bobbin winder
6. This is my first belt driven lockstitch machine
It will not be here for about two weeks but I have these pics in case ANYONE can find a match.
I suspect a Charles Raymond variant, but it looks more like an American #1.
Ideas?

Wow Steve! YOU are my go-to guy so if you don't know I am totally lost! I will be following along to see how it clean up and what you can find out about it. What a weird accident-bid. I NEVER thought about how that could happen but OMG! It really could! (I am agreeing with the possibly German made. I've been researching heavily on my new machine and it also has the porcelain handle)

Steve, I love research and may do some more later, but I do find that I don't have enough knowledge about these machines to know which ones may also be from the same manufacturer.
Here is a link to the German Google image page. The German words you want for further searches are "antike Naehmaschine" .
If you find a page with info in German, PM me if you need help. Of course, Chrome offers built in translations.....
