   A unique collection of bracelets forged out of steel axels coming from antique and vintage sewing machines & a rare 18 " wide carriage steel rode coming from and vintage Remington type writer of 1922 . After collecting and unbuilding 3 very old broken sewing machines and the type writer all pieces have been recorder and each machine dated and identified. The first pictures are two bracelets forged out of parts from a Bernina 117 Suisse made in 1932, built only during 3 years it is know to be a strong machine. In did, by forging you realise the quality of the steel.

  The Remington type writer bracelets. One piece out of a series of  4. In April 2016 I found a very peculiar type writer with an 18 " steel rode, quite large, caring number on it. It was a heavy piece, but I carried back to my atelier. After inquiry I was informed that this is a rare type writer that was used by journaliste to actually type the news paper ... Well I forged a series of bracelets out of it that still carry those numbers. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the machine. In this collection I used screws from sewing machines as they do a perfect job to lock the bracelet.
