I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO OPERATE IT SO I DO NOT GUARANTEE IF OPERATIONAL. HOWEVER IT SEEMS TO BE COMPLETE.Rare, imposing, historical and industrial crank operated sock circular knitting machine “Model K” of the American company Scott & William – the first circular knitting machine for the production of seamless lady’s fine hosiery.Scott & Williams were manufacturers of knitting machines used in the large knitting mills running at the time. Their circular knitting machine revolutionized sock manufacturing. They were one of the largest manufacturers in the country, even exporting machines across the ocean to other countries, such as Britain.In 1915, the circular knitting machine “Model K” was able to produce lady’s fine hosiery from the waistband to the fashioned heel including the sole and toe in a single production step. A special feature of this production method for lady’s hosiery was that the in-turned welt was automatically fashioned.This impressive apparatus is very heavy (i guess about 300 lbs.) and it is in original condition with signals of use, discoloration and patina consistent with age. A really extraordinary piece form the history of the textil market with a fabulous steampunk look. Height is 167 centimeters and widest dimension is 70 centimeters.
