ANKER – WERKE  A.G.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

circa 1954<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anker-Werke A.G. Bielefeld<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Straight stitch and Zig Zag, circa 1954 (the first of 3 Anker RZ machines in my collection)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had been told by fellow collectors that this is an amazing machine, so when I found one at auction, I just knew I had to bid. With a low opening bid even the auctioneer undervalued this machine. There was one other bidder, but I still got this machine for a song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got it home and it was even more pristine than I had imagined. Its case had preserved it well over the last approx. 70 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This machine takes the semi-industrial round shank needle, the DBX1 needle system, you can find more information on needles on my VSM Needles<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time I am looking for information on European machines that I find here in Australia, I check out this website<\/a>, Naehmaschinenverzeichnis – Naehmaschinenverzeichnis<\/a> it has a wealth of knowledge on so many machines. According to the review on this Anker it gets a 10 out of 10 rating due to its complete metal construction and workings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anker RZ deluxe with cams is a different machine all together and can be seen on the Anker RZ deluxe page.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
