Smyth book sewer No.1
Smyth book sewer No.3
Smyth book sewer No.7
The serial production began with the renowned book sewing machines equipped with curved needle. This is a technical feature that has distinguished Smyth machinery for 46 years. The curved needle Smyth Sewers stayed on the market until 1928 when Smyth launched its first straight needle semi-automatic sewing machine No. 12, achieving immediate market success. In 1941, as the demand for high-speed “two up” size straight needle book sewer grew, the new No. 18 was introduced in the market. A few years later, in 1945, Smyth developed fully automatic models of the No. 12 and No. 18.
