Sewing Machine ★ LEAD Chain Stitch Sewing Machine ★ Maintained and Adjusted ★ Showa Era, Working Single-Loop Sewing Machine

This is the LEAD hand-crank single-needle high-speed Chitose-go sewing machine.
The stitch on the front is normal, but the back side is a chain stitch.

Unlike modern high-tech sewing machines, this hand-crank machine sews with only the upper thread, making it perfect for quick mending jobs without needing a power source.

Antique sewing machines have a strong presence and can transform the atmosphere of a space just by being displayed. This machine, however, has been serviced and adjusted to be not just a decorative piece, but fully functional for sewing.

Original parts have been polished and repaired to be utilized, and it has been carefully serviced. Missing or broken parts have been recreated.

I believe this model is the most stable sewing machine among LEAD's offerings. It can firmly sew thick fabrics, and the chain stitch finish is exceptionally beautiful.

Unfortunately, it does not come with its original wooden lid, so it is recommended for those who want to sew vigorously rather than just display it.

A copy of the instruction manual for this model, the fabric shown in the photos, and the jeans thread and needle used for actual sewing will be included. Anything else shown in the photos is not part of this listing.

Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to minor imperfections.

There is rust damage on the top, edges, and underside of the sewing plate, which has been treated with a rust converter.

The stitch length can be adjusted.

The sewing machines I list are set up so that even those with no prior sewing experience can use them immediately upon delivery. Simply turn the handwheel, and you should be able to sew without issues.

Consider this not just for display functional antique sewing machine!
