This model from the Worcester City collection was used in Worcester’s renowned glove-making industry during the early 20th century. At the turn of the century sewing machines were starting to look more alike – partly influenced by the success of the Singer sewing machine. The foot pedal, called a treadle, succeeded the former hand-cranked models. The treadle took a while to catch on in Britain, where it was seen as an unladylike movement and bad for the ankles, but would have made larger-scale production significantly easier. Early machines were beautifully decorated and this one has a dark finish with contrasting golden floral designs on the base, the arm and the wheel and an unusual sailing ship motif on the base. One theory is that machines were associated with industry and engineering, so the ornamentation made the sewing machine feel more appropriate in a domestic setting.

F. J. Cock was a distributor with branches in Birmingham and Coventry. He sold many ‘badged’ machines which were models made by other manufacturers but specially labelled for the shop or department store that sold them. This machine is mounted onto a treadle table with cast iron sides that read “Cocks” and has no model name on the arm or company trade-mark revealing its maker. However the central decal of a schooner (sailing boat) at sea reveals it as the ‘Original Victoria’ made by the German firm Mundlos & Co., manufactured from 1896 onwards.

F. J. Cock sold machines made by many different companies such as Jones, Haid & Neu, Hengstenberg, Stoewer etc. They had branches in Birmingham and Coventry, England.

This finely lithographed advertising poster was created around 1900, when the company, which at the time offered 5 different models under the brand name "Victoria", had already received several awards for their machines, including two gold medals in Tasmania in 1892 and in Lübeck in 1895. The poster was produced at the printing company König & Erhardt in Hanover and was intended for the Swiss market: Representative for the canton of Appenzell was currently a certain C. Teufel in the Neugasse, 6 in St. Gallen. The Victoria sewing machines were sold and probably repaired in an emergency in this Swiss canton at the time of A. Schwalm, a mechanic, in Bühler. The rare poster is 45 x 64 cm.

In 1901, Mundlos revised his machines constructively and brought his first rotary machine to the market, taking account of the demand for larger bobbins. The program is thus extended to a total of eleven machines. 

 

 

from 1903  about  ******************************

1903  PatentApparatus on sewing machines for guiding the needle thread and withdrawing the same from the supply roller, characterized in that the thread is guided perpendicularly to a thumb disc which is fastened to the sewing machine axis and is attracted to the thumb disc only during a short part of its rotation, but is then immediately released again so that it can be driven in when the thread is not moved.
