In my effort to downsize, I have been culling through my stock of sewing machines with an eye to disposing any that don't please me. I put this Anker RZ on the shelf years ago for some reason I couldn't remember and decided to break it out and make a final decision.
The machine had not been used in several years but I fired it up and sewed a test swatch. It sewed beautifully! I oiled it and sewed a larger project and find it to be one of the nicest machines I have ever used. It is smooth, quiet, and strong and sews everything I have put under the presser foot without complaining.
I received my new camera today and am now able to get some good photos and don't have to rely on old cell phones for pictures to post.
It's hard to read the badge but it says 'ANKER WORKS BIELEFELD GERMANY'.

Like all German sewing machines, it appears to be well-engineered and was probably an expensive machine in its day.
I particularly like the bobbin winder, it is designed like the old Singer winders with a finger that moves back and forth across the bobbin to ensure a smooth, even winding.

I haven't figured out what the pad is below the balance wheel, it is stationary and the only purpose I can imagine it could serve is as a pincushion.
That would keep owners from pinning a piece of fabric to the arm and scratching the paint with pins.
I think this one is a keeper, makes me want to dig out the Haid & Neu and give it a spin!

When Isaac Merritt Singer designed the sewing machine for practical use in 1851, a real run on this machine began in highly industrialized Germany.

Over 200 German companies and merchants (who had their products produced by companies, for example) saw this product as a change to significantly increase their capital. The state of Saxony became Germany's stronghold in sewing machine production for 140 years.

Today there is no company in Germany that produces household sewing machines.

In the industrial sector, only 'Dürkopp-Adler' remains, which is produced in small numbers in the Czech Republic and belongs to the Chinese.

The trademarks and model names, on the other hand, are sought after like never before. Not a well-known sewing machine label is still freely available today. This is why numerous, as in the early years of the sewing machine industry, new imaginary names are created. Because since the turn of the millennium, the business with household sewing machines in particular has been booming again.
