This specialized bookbinding equipment is designed for creating strong, oversewn bindings by sewing loose leaves into text blocks using overlock stitches through punched gutter margins. It is ideal for binderies, libraries, and restoration projects, producing robust bindings that often include linen spine support and optional rounding/backing. The machine was employed by a bookbinding company for several years before being stored with other equipment in a private garage. Upon relocation, all machines, including this one, were verified to be in perfect working condition.
