I’m always on the hunt for old, portable, sewing machines!And boy, did I hit paydirt on my last trip to Europe. All man-ually operated, with one exception. Mostly Singer, datingfrom 1906 through 1945. What I found interesting was thatall of these Singer machines, from the oldest to the newest,were exactly the same design. And they’re all in beautifuland functional condition. The only differences were thecases they came in. The ones made in Scotland had thesquare cases, and the others had the domed cases. One ofthe Singers, also a portable in a domed case was factoryelectrified, 220V naturally. This one is extremely rare. Thenthe oldest I scored were a Jones, dating to 1898,and a Frister & Rossmann, dating to 1890, whichhas a stunning squared off case with extensivemarquetry. These are all investment quality.

STORM LANTERNS We had been selling FEUERHAND lanterns, from Germany, foryears now, and thought them to be pretty damned good, commensurate with our ratherstrict Germanic quality standards. Aah, but ultimately we were disappointed… Good, em-phatically yes, but we kept studying the subject, and found better. Good old Americanmanufacturer, DIETZ. The Dietzes started making lamps in 1850 in NYC. The original fac-tory building still stands today, and has been made into a restaurant. But R.E. Dietz Co.,has been making the original lamps in China since 1956! And if it matters, they are bet-ter now than ever! We’ve been testing for over a year and are impressed. The most signifi-cant and visible reason being that the Dietz burns longer and is two candlepower brighterthan the Feuerhand. And we’ve experienced no leakage, ever.

DIETZ NO. 30 LITTLE WIZARDThe standard fount, cold-blast version of theDietz #1, and is referred to as "short globe"lanterns, as their globes are shorter than theFitzall type that prior to 1912 had been used al-most exclusively. Features a rising cone for easylighting and wick trimming. Made of sheetsteel, blued, using a 5/8” wick, with 17 oz oilcapacity giving you about 23 hours of burntime at an average of 9 C.P., puts out 1100 BTUof heat. This lantern measures 12” x 6”Ø w/ohandle, 24.6 oz DZ30 $29

DIETZ #2000 MILLENNIUMCOOKER LANTERNThe best new idea in lamp utilization! De-veloped to heat water or food for emer-gency or camping use indoors or out.Included is an aluminum plate and 12 oz.cup to heat water, soup, or a small meal,as well as a snap on bracket and hold-down pegs to prevent tip over when usedoutdoors. Its compact design has similarspecs as the Dietz #30 Little Wizardlantern, featuring a rising cone for easylighting and wick trimming. Made of sheetsteel, powder coated green, using a 5/8”wick, with 17 oz oil capacity giving youabout 23 hours of burn time at an averageof 9 C.P., puts out 1100 BTU of heat. 12” x6”Ø, plus accessories, 33.7 oz complete.

ANTIQUE WOODEN CIGARMOULDS These antique mouldsare a fabulous find! Used throughoutthe last century in “production,” (read:cheap) cigar making in Europe. Thisuseful device permitted a semi-skilledroller to make passably good cigarswith less than a years practice. It had

its roots in Europe some time in themid 1800’s. They are often referred toas “German cigar moulds” because somany were made in Germanic coun-tries, but some contemporary literaturedescribes the origin as British. Wher-ever it came from, the wooden mouldreached its glory in America where it

quickly became accepted.I remember inthe 1950’s in the back courtyards in Munich, where they’d be making cigars! Anyhow, these moulds makegreat conversation pieces, and can berepurposed for various uses. Made 20cigars, 22” x 3.5” x 2.5”, 3 lbs 5.7 ozHN25 $51

NAVAL CHARTS OF THE WORLDAs a lover of anything nautical, when a stack of old charts, thathad been in use by the US Navy, became available, we jumpedon the deal. These come from all over the world! Dating as farback as the 1890’s, with many corrections made to updatethem. It’s a fantastic history of friend owning and correctingcharts from the foe and actually using them. For example,Golfo di Pozzuoli, including Rada di Castellammare di Stabiawith Torre Annunziata, originally engraved and published inLondon by the Admiralty 7th October 1890, with new cor-rected editions from 1902, 1911, 1917 and large correc-tions 13th Sept. 1940… And these came out of thechartroom of a US Naval vessel. Gorgeous stuff. Thesecharts are all about 40” x 27.5”, and printed on very heavy stock. Many have the correctionsmade by the quartermaster’s mate on them, in red or blue. The charts are all yellowed with age,and are very beautiful in their own right. Works of art, if you will. Since they depict random and obscure places on the globe,with many of these localities re-named, given the course of history and politics, we’ll just sell them randomly, okay? All ingreat condition, with no tears or rips. You get three random charts in this deal. 40” x 27.5” each MR103 $89

Schweizer-Deutsche Optik We have collaborated at length with the fine German company, A. Schweizer GmbH,to put together a comprehensive, and complete line of magnifiers, of all types, for virtually any application. What is of notehere, that Schweizer still grinds all their own glass. Yeah, Schott white glass. The best there is. The reason we like glass, as op-posed to acrylic, is that when you work with solvents and get a drop on the acrylic, you’re screwed, because the acrylic lenses are ruined. Of course we also purchase close-out acrylic magnifiers from them, and pass the savings on to you.

they’re heavy, but that’s good,keeps things steady. Brilliant. Thebest there is! Each comes withleather lens case.

Yeah.., just tryand find real quality glass magnifiers, that areaspheric or better aplanatic. That lead me to A.Schweizer GmbH. Been around for 167 years.Use only Schott (Zeiss) white glass; grind alltheir own. In fact, make all the components inhouse! Aplanatic lenses have more edge toedge clarity, without distortion by minimizingspherical aberrations and eliminating coma.Schweizer does this with two lenses, not thatyou could tell, holding ‘em in your hand.

DAVOSA Davosa was founded in the Swiss Jura (the heart of fine watch-making) in 1861 by Frédéric Hasler, and the en-terprise has been in the family ever since. These magnificent timepieces are superb. Certainly as good as any branded Swissmechanical watch, such as Tag-Heuer, Breitling, Ebel, or Omega, et al. The big difference is that you don’t pay for all the glossyTV and Magazine advertising. Davosa does none of that… In other words, you actually get what you are paying for! EachDavosa timepiece has a full Two-Year factory warranty.

As of 1 November 2013, we will not accept any returns of anyTimepieces after a customer’s inspection period of five (5) days fromthe ship date. Hence, a 5 Day Return Policy. Here’s why… We ship allnew Timepieces, fully inspected and running properly by ourknowledgeable staff. The Timepieces are fully wound-up, and set for thecustomer’s local time, and sent per 2-Day express/insured service, soyou should have plenty of time to either Love or Hate it… So pleasedon’t wear/carry the timepiece for a week, or more, risk banging itagainst doorframes, or whatever, and then expect us to take it back! Ifyou Hate it, simply return it, unused and unworn, at your cost. (Wesuggest insuring it for its full value). All new Timepieces sold by us areguaranteed by their makers for 24 months, and therefore all warrantyclaims are handled by the Makers, or their authorized repair facilities,not us. Each Timepiece has its respective certificate instruction warrantycard or booklet with it. There you will find the addresses and telephonenumbers of the makers. Remember: taking the Timepiece to anunauthorized repair facility voids all warranties!

MECHANICAL TIMEPIECE INFORMATIONWATCH PURCHASE POLICYAll Timepieces we sell are mechanical, unless otherwise noted.Mechanical means either manual-wind or automatic (self-winding).Being mechanical devices, they’ll never have the dead-on accuracy ofquartz or atomic clocks/watches. That simply isn’t possible… Howactive you are, how you place your watch on the nightstand,temperature, and magnetic fields, all argue against perfection! If yourTimepiece gains a few seconds/minutes over a noticeable period, trylaying it out differently at night when you take it off. Face down; faceup; on left edge; on right edge. If you use a watch winder, all bets areoff, and you’ll just have to re-set the time manually.

In order to get the proper power reserve out of a mechanical watch,(typically 38-42 hrs), you must first fully wind the mainspring, gently!You’ll feel it tighten up before it’s fully wound. This is especially true ofautomatic (self-winding) watches. You must fully wind it beforewearing. No matter what, always handle a Timepiece, its crown andpushers and stoppers gently. There’s no need to force anything!

AVIATOR FLY BACKCHRONOMETERThis chronograph distinguishes itself asa true pilot’s watch thanks to its fly-back function: pressing the pusherstops the current time measurementand the hand flies back to zero; uponreleasing the pusher a new stopwatchprocess begins. This saves you vitalseconds that may prove decisivewhen flying. A definite advantageof the fly-back function as opposedto a conventional chronograph stop-watch function! The case is a satined,partially polished, stainless steel, withfluted bezel. Has a screw-in case back.Sapphire crystal. Comes with either asilver-white or black face, with Arabicindications. Has SuperLumiNova lumi-nosity. Water resistant to 5 ATM.Chronograph, date and Fly-back func-tion. Has a fine Swiss-made Rondaquartz movement.

GERMAN TAVERN GAMBLING AUTOMATAMy old pal Hans Heiner of Düsseldorf flipped out, I think, when he started to buy all of the old gambling automata that usedto hang in just about every tavern in Germany! By now, he’s collected over two thousand… Found an old, retired mechanicthat used to work for the company that made them, and hired him to make them all function again like new. So I picked up ahandful, just to see if they would fly. Figured you’d enjoy having one in your game room. They use old Deutsch-Marks, andsome coinage is supplied with each machine, so you can actually “gamble” with them. And although they are wired for220VAC, a small transformer will make them work here. They are all analog, and the same, with different graphics. measure 22” x 8” x 34.5”, 103 lbs, complete with mounting brackets Plus additional surface freight of $99 each.

Your Credit Card Statement will Read: LUDDITES, INC.

We have changed our corporate moniker, for the sake ofclarity. Back in the days, when we were only LILLPUTMOTOR COMPANY, it was simple. Then we added a newcompany, DEUTSCHE OPTIK, and some confusion started.Now that we are all grown up, and have three companiesunder one roof, with the newest, THE BEST BRUSHES,everybody seems to be getting confused.

Since all three of our companies deal in beautifully time-less articles, and we have been affectionately called Lud-dites by some customers, we figured that would be aterrific umbrella name for the corporation. Towards thatend, you'll see our new name, Luddites, Inc. on yourcredit card statements. But regardless, at least you'llknow, no matter which of these names we use in the var-ious correspondences, that we're all Luddites here, okay?

This gorgeous reproduction of the famous Gen. Sir Garnet Wolseley Pith

helmet was made in Viet Nam, of the same original materials. Cork cov-

ered with dense, lightweight, khaki colored canvas. In order to stay cool in

extreme weather, one may immerse the outside of the helmet in water,

making sure the inside remains dry. The shape provides maximum

shade,

while not interfering with a shouldered gun. Great design. Has adjustable

nylon chin strap. 8
