Figures 119 and 120. — Shaw & Clark sewing machines. 

 In addition to the early style Monitor sewing machine sold 

 by Shaw & Clark without a name or any identifying marks, 

 the company continued to manufacture machines after a 

 lawsuit with the "Combination" forced them to take out a 

 license. They manufactured an adapted version of their 

 Monitor and an entirely new design patented in 1861. Their 

 machines were now marked with the company name and a 

 list of patent dates including those of Howe, Wheeler and 



Wilson, Grover and Baker, and Singer and the Batchelder 

 patent, together with their own design patents. In 1867 the 

 company moved from Biddeford, Maine, to Chicopee Falls, 

 Massachusetts. In the same year, they began manufactur- 

 ing a machine of the design patented by T. C. Page. The 

 company is believed to have become the Chicopee Sewing 

 Machine Company which appeared the following year and 

 remained in business only a very short time. One Chicopee 

 sewing machine is in the Smithsonian collection.
