The cartouche with the words inside are written in German and translate to:  secured against imitation brand-mark it

Also, is this a hand-crank or electric?  Is this an adult machine or a child's machine?

[talesofthesevenseas]

From what I can see it looks like an adult's machine, shuttle bobbin, lock-stitch, hand crank model. It would not have the feet if it was a treadle and the kids toy models are chainstitch, not two thread lock stitch like this one. Very nice! Check that the shuttle and bobbin are included. These would be under the sliding plates in the sewing platform.

This base on this one looks just a whole lot like yours...only without the German cartouche!!!!!!


Junker & Ruh  Serial No. 190710.
Fiddle base Handcrank with an ornate cast base, the decals have all but gone but were originally gold with red pendants around the base.  At the bottom of the Pillar it has ' Made in Germany' and beneath that, although the wording is virtually unreadable, 'Especially for Kay & Company Worcester'. Kays still exist and are a large Mail Order Catologue Company based in Worcester, England.
The bobbin winder on this machine is slightly unusual with a wire "spoon" and "guard".
