It looks like a slightly different model from yours, but it has that very similar decal set. I found another Anker that's quite interesting to me: Sorry for the delay, but I've been a bit under the weather. If you happen to find out anything more that would be amazing and appreciated. It's fair to say I am stumped on this one. I have not been able to find an Anker with similar build or serial number. I also agree with the nautical feel of the ships wheel being linked to Anker. I noticed the hardware right down to the bobbin and arm are the exact same on the picture of the Justus and in the other picture you attached the bobbin has this extra part as well as a different style arm but like you said the decal is more similar to that of the one you posted.

Yes that was the Hengstenberg Justus I was referring too. I seem to be running out of time at the moment, so I might look into this again later. It's tempting to say that the actual maker might be Anker, because of the nautical theme of the decals. One of the other things said by a quiltingboard member with which I heartily concur is that the mechanical style of the machine is that of a Singer model 27 or 28: So, a lot of actual sewing machine maker names are getting thrown around: Anker, Hengstenberg, Frister & Rossmann, Winselman. This one's decal set is closer (the mermaid is holding an anchor instead of a ship's wheel), and the hardware is essentially the same: It is very similar, right down to that extra finger-like doohicky on the bobbin winder (the name of that part escapes me at the moment), but the decal set is different. Perhaps you meant this Hengstenberg Justus?: Silberg, a distributor of sewing machines made by others:Īpparently, J. Yes, that medallion badge of a castle belongs to J.
