German Sewing Machines

About German Vintage Sewing Machines:

In the 1850′s, the sewing machine originally became widely available, scores of small manufacturers began making them. Most of these manufacturers were either in the United States or Great Britain. Between these two countries, they had the industry dominated. However, Germany soon began making their own sewing machines One of the earliest sewing manufacturing companies in Germany was introduced in 1855 by Clems Muller in Dresden.

This was just a undersized beginning to Germany’s soon to be affluent sewing machine industry. Most of these companies began with copies of early US-made sewing machines such as the Singer product, nevertheless as the industry grew and gained might, the range and appeal of the machines increased. Many of the German companies made particularly similar machines, which made it look like everyone was copying each other. Another cause for the machines being so alike is that the bigger manufacturers could not keep up with their demands and were subcrontracting the same machines to smaller firms.
 
Once a German designed machine worked, the model was not changed for a long time. A great case in point  of this is the cast base machine which was still being made 60 years afterward during WWI. German machines were habitually put down as if they were poorer class. This was mainly done by the British. The machines were really of great value, lots of instances they were in fact better than the British machines. Even better, they were much more reasonable than British machines. These German machines became so popular that they were brought into into Britain in massive quantities. The main German manufacturers opened up offices in London to ease the huge orders.
