Schurhoff
German Toy Sewing Machine
This German firm
was not nearly as prolific a maker as Casige or Muller or many of the other
toy sewing machine manufacturers of the day. Their machines are highly collectible
because of their relative scarcity. The example is the "Type 47",
which is boldly proclaimed by the decal placed prominently on the
front side. It was produced in the late 1940's so perhaps that number
makes a reference to the year?? In any case it is decorated with a bright
golden yellow ball surrounded by yellow and gold flowers and vines on the body,
and even has decoration at the corners of the base. It is in super
condition and a very nice TSM.

Schurhoff
German Toy Sewing Machine
The German toy maker Schurhoff
was not nearly as prolific a maker as Casige or Muller but their machines are highly collectible
because of their relative scarcity and quality of the decorations that can
be found.. This example is the "Golden Rain" showing a girl
catching golden rain drops falling from the sky. The condition is very
nice and it is a hard to find machine. The name is written across the sew
plate, but was hard to pick up in a photo. A welcome addition
to any collection!

Diana
TSM Toy Sewing Machine in Original Box
This is a cute little sheet steel toy sewing machine called the Diana
It was made shortly after the second World War in Germany by the firm named
Schurhoff. It's in near mint condition having spent its
entire life in the original box. The paint is bright and near
flawless. There is no wear or damage to the unusual logo / decal
found on both sides. I love how the Germans had a way of
picturing the toy sewing machines on the labels of the boxes at about twice
their actual size relative to the size of the child. A special little machine ready for the display.

"Our Pet" Casige / Seco Service
TSM Toy Sewing Machine in Original Box
This is a super little sheet steel toy sewing machine called "Our Pet" in
its original wooden box. It has a picture label with a name Seco
Service
I have never seen before. It was made shortly after the second
World War in Germany by Casige and has their log on the stitch plate.
Perhaps it was made for Seco by Casige, and they handed them out to their
customer's children? I am not sure.
It's in near mint condition having spent its
entire life in the original box. The paint is bright and near
flawless. There is no wear or damage to flower decals on the base or
body. They look like vine honeysuckles. You will not find a
nicer machine, in nicer condition anywhere. A super piece.

Muller # 1B Front Crank TSM Toy Sewing Machine
The Mueller 1B Front Crank is a very rare machine compared to the more
often seen Casige pictured above. The stitch plate is marked Muller
Patent and Kinder Nahmaschime along with the patent #. The paint and decoration are good with a few minor loses. The
box is worn and torn, but the front graphic with the machine pictured as
larger than life is still pretty good. A very
nice example.

"Liliputian" TSM Toy Sewing Machine
This is one of the smallest toy
sewing machines that can be found. They were advertised as being a
machine that could be threaded and used to really sew, unlike those known as
"penny
toys". They date from the first quarter of the 20th century. I have seen, and will be
listing one in its original box in the coming weeks. They are
considered rare as few survived.

Full
Body German TSM Toy Sewing Machine
The collector who we are selling these toy sewing machines for was very
particular about the condition of the machines in her collection. She
only bought the best, and took care that they remained that way.
This style is what we refer to as a full-body steel, as opposed to either a single
thick sheet metal, or cast iron models. This one has great decoration of
geometric flowers and vines spreading up and across the body. The sew
plate is marked with the Casige Eagle. A very
nice example.

Red
German Toy Sewing Machine
on Wooden Base
This is a cute little toy sewing machine with a couple of unusual aspects.
Few "tinnie" sewing machines were fixed to wooden bases as this one is.
Also note the spool pin comes directly out of the front side of the machine.
I am not sure what firm made this model, but it is nice, and it is a bit
different. The paint is is good condition, and the decals
are as well. It just needs a light cleaning to be a colorful standout
in the collection.

Casige
"Little Red Riding Hood" Toy Sewing Machine
This
sheet steel toy sewing machine was manufactured by a German company named Casige,
and dates from the 1930's-40's. The colorful decals on front, back and
even the base of the machine depict Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.
This was one in a series of "storybook" or "fairytale" themed toy sewing machines
that also included Hansel and Gretel as well as other characters. Casige
made a number of different machines, all of them beautifully decorated, some
with swirling flowers, others with geometric designs, but these with the storybook
figures have always been a favorite among collectors! The
condition is super, and it will make for a great display.

Casige
#204 Toy Treadle Sewing Machine
This
full bodied sheet steel toy sewing machine was manufactured by Casige. It
is proper and original as shown. Machines can be found on tiny stands that are
homemade or aftermarket, but Casige actually made a few different versions
of these, with this being the full bodied model. All are hard to find,
and Glenda Thomas in her books could not value them beyond a NPA which meant
no price available.
The colorful decals on the front and back are
in near perfect condition. This will make for a great display
with a doll sitting at it or as a stand alone. Different and Unusual!!.
