This is for a vintage Bonis Bros. Co. Fur/Leather sewing machine. It was purchased at an estate sale mounted on an old homemade butcher block style table. I am selling as pictured, I disassembled. Parts are all cast iron. This lot includes everything pictured. I am not shipping the pipe legs or table top due to size and weight issues. This lot includes: The machine itself and its mounting plate. The top cover is missing. Parts and gears turn freely and sewing aperture looks to be working properly. It does have the spool holder attached which many of these seem to be missing. The grease overflow catch which mounts underneath. Includes circa 1985 gerber baby food jar catch. A belt An Emerson 1/3 hp special service duty motor - I could not test as all wiring was cut up, I removed all wires and threw away. It turns freely however. The motor mount The base the motor attaches to, which actually runs the machine when the motor is running and engaged. The all cast iron base with the cast iron foot pedals, plus mounting hardware to connect foot pedal to machine. 4 mounting brackets to mount legs to a table. All of this has surface rust but is ideal for restoration as all of it is minor surface rust, no cracking, pitting, holes etc. will clean up nicely with some elbow grease. Nice solid piece. Most everything is here except again table top and legs - both easily made or gotten by repurposing, wiring, and the machines top cover. Again, not sure about the motor, but it looks pretty clean and turns freely. And a small bonus find - an open pack of Bonis chrome needles model No. 12A - contains 5 new needles. This is a heavy lot and in fact may need to be shipped in a couple of sturdy boxes. Together it all weighs about 65-70 pounds. If winning bidder wants I can keep the motor and shipping will be a little cheaper as it weighs 15 pounds itself. So basically consider the motor a throw in for the cost of shipping. You choose shipping, USPS OR FEDEX. Please wait for second invoice if desire to purchase without the motor. No discount if you decide not to take the motor other than the cost savings in shipping. Again it weighs about 16 pounds so could be a substantial savings. All reasonable offers considered. Please check photos Thanks for looking!
