A particularly attractive example of the magnificently decorated ‘Simplex B’ machine manufactured in Russelheim, Germany by Adam Opel. The serial No. 640327 dates it to approx 1902.

Simplex B

The mother of pearl decals are in very good condition for a machine of this age with only minimal wear. The nickel plated parts are all clean and untarnished.

The hand crank assembly of this machine has a white porcelain handle which folds down when not in use. The handle is not chipped or cracked and rotates freely on its spindle.

The machine is complete with its needle, shuttle and bobbin and so as well as looking fabulous, it is in good working condition.

The machine is mounted in a wooden base with the normal marquetry rulers to the front and a formed bentwood cover with nickel plated handle, lockplate and key. The case is in lovely condition and measures approx. 15" x 7-1/4" x 9" (38 x 8 x23 cm) high.
