Description
As a master machinist, William Jones started making sewing machines in 1859[5] and in 1860 formed a partnership with his fellow lodger and master machinist, Thomas Chadwick. As Chadwick & Jones they manufactured sewing machines at Ashton-under-Lyne until 1863.[6] Their machines used designs from Howe and Wilson, produced under licence.[7][8] Thomas Chadwick later joined Bradbury & Co.[9] William Jones joined his brother to continue the business, opening a factory in Guide Bridge, Manchester in 1869.[10] In 1893 a Jones advertising sheet claimed that this factory was the "Largest Factory in England Exclusively Making First Class Sewing Machines".[11] The firm was renamed as the Jones Sewing Machine Co. Ltd and was later acquired by Brother Industries of Japan, in 1968.[12][13] The Jones name still appeared on the machines till the late 1980s.

Is it in working condition? g******9 (6 • 8:24 pm, Tue, 14 May )I don't know much about the operation of sewing machines. I can only confirm that the machine can rotate smoothly by shaking the handle. 850712aa (59 • Tuesday, 14 May 2024 )Is it missing part of the metal plate that goes over the bobbin area ? Have you sewn any sample stitches with this machine please ? g*****d (3988 • 9:50 pm, Tue, 14 May )I've never used a sewing machine so I'm sorry I don't know if I'm missing parts, it's from my dad's collection and he likes items that are older. 850712aa (59 • Tuesday, 14 May 2024 )
