Muller toy sewing machine


The Muller model O Circa 1912

 

 

 

The Muller factory was founded by Friedrich Wilhelm Muller in 1868 and ran right up till the 1970's. They were one of the largest manufacturers of small sewing machines in the world.

The company made millions of toy sewing machines for over a century. The factory in Berlin, Germany, also produced a variety of goods from safes and letter openers to fret saws and pencil sharpeners.

The lovely toy sewing machine above,  serial number 362628, was first produced in the Edwardian era, circa 1912 and was one of their most popular early models

It is a strange fact that the Muller 0 came much later than the Muller No1.

The Muller model six


The Muller model 6 1894-1914

One of the prettiest of all the toy sewing machines. Nickel/silver plated cast iron and gold make this beauty stand out. A strange fact with some of the Muller No 6 models is that they sewed back to front not front to back! There were at least four different models including an early walking foot. By the outbreak of the Great War in 1914 the Muller No 6 was no more.

The Muller No 6 is possibly the most sought after of all the toy range and prices for superb models like this can go sky high some fetching over $2,000.

The Muller model 14 toy sewing machine 1910-1939

The Muller model 14 was first designed in 1910 and ran right up to the outbreak of WWII in 1939 when production ceased. This model uses a rotary hook to produce its chain stitch and was very popular. The machine was often referred to as The Bird of Paradise.
