That's why experienced antique dealers arrange a hunt for this thing!
The grandmother of my friend was very poor, however, left her a legacy of this thing. About twenty years thing was kept in the attic, nobody was aware of its value. But thanks to a regular old sewing machine a friend has realized his dream and went to Paris!
Sewing machine old obezzarajennoe generation will hardly be able to guess what is inside this vintage wooden trunk. But older people speaks volumes.
Yes, it is in these cases once sold and kept the sewing machinesmanufactured by Podolsk mechanical plant. I think thirty years ago those were almost in every family.
In my house, too, was such a machine, remember, how long I could admire the intricate patterns that were delicately painted metal body. They say that for each model, these images are totally different.
Now sewing machines look very different, and more like a piece of plastic than a piece of art, which is a pity.
His story of the Podolsk sewing machines are still in pre-revolutionary times, and their prototypes become products of the famous factory "Zinger". Modern style inherent to that time, had an influence even on the simplest things, and manufacturers have tried to decorate the items in a most unusual way.
Isaac singer, the first producer of such products, undertook the improvement of the sewing machines because of the debt hanging over him, and in just 11 days, was born the first "Zingers". Far in 1851, the products of this American company was already known all over the world. And soon the singer company became one of the largest manufacturers of sewing machines.
By the beginning of XX century the situation has changed. To deliver to Russia sewing machines from America had become economically unprofitable, because there are plenty of competitors offering similar products at a lower price. Then the management of the company "singer" has decided to start manufacturing sewing machines in the suburbs.
This was bought land in the then little known town of Podolsk, and for relatively little money, built a plant, and the presence of nearby railroad contributed to the unprecedented success of the case. After all, it is at times facilitated the delivery of goods to different parts of the country!
The new plant is rapidly gaining momentum. In a relatively short period of time "singer" from the city of Podolsk is one of the largest in Europe. Before the First world war, the factory produced 600 000 sewing machines a year! Only in Russia was more than 3,000 brand stores, besides the cars were sent to customers by mail.
Cars Podolsk "singer" has gained wide popularity abroad, as evidenced by the large supplies of our garment units in the countries of China, Japan and Persia. In 1914 Russia ranked second in the world in sales of sewing machines after the USA, selling them annually to the amount of 63.5 mln rubles!
The office of "singer" has made a significant artistic contribution to the architecture of the city of St. Petersburg, adorning themselves Nevsky prospect. In addition to having a beautiful façade, the building was considered a technically perfect: it was already the elevators and automatic system of cleaning of roofs from snow.
And so we can see it building now. By the way, in the here and now is the office of "Vkontakte"!
In 1918, the Podolsk factory "Zinger" was nationalized by the Bolsheviks before 1923 is almost dormant, but from 1923 sewing machines "singer" was restored with one caveat: they are now sold under the name "PMZ" (Podolsk mechanical plant).
The design of the sewing machine "singer" was so successful that the production of these machines continued for thirty years virtually unchanged! And the trendy patterns of the early XX century became a signature feature of Podolsky's products.
No wonder that around such a useful and well-known things formed many legends. According to one of them, in 1998 the company "singer" has announced the search for machines with serial number starting with one.
According to rumors, the lucky owner of such a rarity expects a reward in the amount of 30 thousand to a million dollars, so antiquarians began EN masse to buy cars. No official confirmation of this, but as they say, smoke without fire...
This legend is so attracted hunters for precious metals. Supposedly the earliest examples of the Russian "Singer" contain the precious metal palladium. Recently there is a rumor that in the original eagle rare cars is a rare substance, red mercury!
Before you get rid of old things or "write off" it in the attic is worth considering. Maybe she can still bring happiness to your home. As you can see, the old sewing machine — it is much more than a simple tool.
If you have been interested in this story, share this article with your friends, perhaps they too lying around somewhere this is a great rare invention.
