You are correct sir! Having seen some of these over the years, I wasn’t particularly sure it would even be worth the effort to get it running. I picked it up at my customers house, and was blown away by how perfect it is. A rare find for her, and I was pleased to be the one to service it. It’s a beauty. 😎👍🏼
@@MRrwmac whenever I have an extra moment and I’m in a nice neighborhood, I try to stop in and grab a sewing machine or two. The challenge these days, is having that extra moment. 😎👍🏼
I have three Jones machines one with reverse 1925 the other is older 1916 no reverse. I think the only difference is that the lever can move further because they altered the casting. I live in the UK there are quite a few that popup for sale. I recently renovated a Jones 1896 for a friend, it had the old style bobbin winder which has an odd thread path while winding the bobbin. Did you notice the Jones machines do not have a "take up spring" on the upper tension device. The round shaft needles I find the Schmetz DBx1 works for me Both my machines are a pleasure to use. One interesting fact is if you ordered over 200 machines they would put a different name on the decals. I can't be sure the dates are accurate just what I found on the WWW 1896 Sn ? 20301 - friends machine 1916 serial no 266114 1916 serial no 287554 1925 serial no 348642 all the best
Thanks for that information. There’s numerous folks who will appreciate it, including me. It’s also great to hear from a friend “from across the pond”. Thanks for watching and adding valuable context. 👍😎
Beautiful! I have one that has both treadle and the hand crank wheel. Nowhere near as nice condition as yours as it was used regularly by the mother of the elderly lady that gave it to me.
It’s not mine. It belongs to a customer who knows how to be in the right place at the right time to find the treasures. I was happy to get to service it and make the video. 😎👍🏼
Wow Randy, That's a work of art! I don't have the space or $, but someone would display that as a centerpiece under a chandelier. If you find any more history, I'm sure many would like to listen to the long version of this. I better get off of here before I start coveting another man's machine. Lol
Well. Perfect is as good as it gets. I don’t think you want to crank it all day though. I was surprised by how pristine this one is. Remarkably flawless. Rare for a machine of this age.
Wow, beautiful machine!!! So awesome. I would crossover to the shuttle for that machine only. Lol!!!! Thanks Randy for sharing this one.
They’re nice to admire but challenging to sew with consistently. Stick with your round bobbin machine. Trust me on this one.👍😎
Absolutly gorgeous machine! I know you were blown away when you opened that finely crafted case! The company was proud of that one!

What a beautiful machine!
It’s a work of art, as well as a representation of the precision mechanics of that era. A snapshot of perfection. 😎👍🏼

I used to pass the factory in Guide Bridge on my way to work. And yes, it's now a Brother factory.
Thanks. 😎👍🏼

It definitely is a fine piece of artful workmanship. They don’t make them as fancy as that any more. 😎👍🏼
Wow!
What a beautiful machine. It really belongs in a museum. You say it has a perfect stitch. How does the stitch compare to a Singer 201-2?
Well. Perfect is as good as it gets.
I don’t think you want to crank it all day though.

I have one that looks like that too, but mine is a foot petal one and I can’t find the year they made it.
The internet can help you research the answers to your questions.
The Jones is a well known brand so there’s a good deal of information out there.
