AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very rare this early Ludwig & Co Model B double-chain-stitch sewing machine from about 1915. The serial number is 738. This is truly number 738 off the factory. It is rare to find such an early serial number. The machine is complete as far as I can tell but it is stuck. It needs to be restored (cleaned/ loosened). This German quality machine produced in Limbach / Germany.
Glove and leatherworking machines: Ludwig & Co. produced special single-needle double-chain-stitch machines that were essential for making leather gloves.

Museum status: Because the brand is less well known to the general public than, for example, Singer or Pfaff, rare specimens are often treasured by museums for industrial design or sewing machine specialists
