WERTHEIM RAPIDA , ca. 1905
 

Serial #: 129.702

Condition: Working. Decals are very worn.

After reading with difficulty WERTHEIM on the arm, and RAP(IDA) on the neck, you can remark that this example is an exact copy of the JONES ‘Spool’ of Quinn’s site (www.demon.co.uk/quinn/jones/spool/index.html). Oscillating shuttle

At that time Wertheim was copying too the JONES model ‘Family’. We have just seen in the previous page a Jones clone  example  with only a serial number 10.000 units lower.
