HELP: Identifying this Crank and Reproducer

Post by rgordon939 »

I need your help identifying this crank and reproducer. I have no idea what machine they are for. Any input is appreciated.

Cant help with the crank, but the reproducer is a Columbia No.15. Over here, it was fitted to the Columbia 113 portable, also the 113A, but in that case it was in polished brass. The reproducer was later superseded by the 15A, which has a female fitting. It was certainly used on US Columbias, but the only one I can think of offhand is the 163 portable, but again, it was in polished brass.

Your crank looks very much like the three Paillard cranks I have. Can you post the dimensions?
