I saw in a thread, and I can no longer find it there was a lot of interest in the machine. I happen to see one on my facebook marketplace and wanted to let the community know. I scoured the wildcrafting and fur handling, but I dont know where the original interest was. They price dropped from $500 to $390. I don't know anything about it's worth I just saw the name Bonis.

Looks vintage. Wonder how old it is?


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

One that works set me back around $1200 20 years ago or so. If it works it can turn a 15 dollar beaver into a 300 dollar beaver. If it doesn't work, risky.

Mine came with a table and an electric motor and it was cleaner and guaranteed to work.

If it's sold, that's cool. Was just throwing it out there for someone who may have been interested because I thought it was cool.

If it has a new looper it will be good.The looper is about the only part that wears on them.
First thing to check on them if you buy one is the looper,there should be absolutely no play in it whatsoever.
Most of them ran 24-7 in sweatshops for years and years and they are still going strong.
Got mine in the fur district in Toronto about 10 years ago-A b-model-a bit heavier duty than the one shown-$600 with table and motor.

Those things will make you money.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

If I understand correctly they need to be timed. If they're not timed correctly they aren't worth a whole lot.
