Vintage Antique Tattoo Machine – Jensen-Style / Early Coil Machine – Rare Collectible
Offered is a vintage tattoo machine with a distinctive heavy cast-metal frame and aged original patina. This is an unusual example with a very interesting old-school frame design that resembles early Owen Jensen-style machines.
The machine features:
Heavy vintage metal frame
Distinctive open-frame Jensen-style design
Dual coil configuration
Brass binding posts and hardware
Vintage adjustment components
Original aged/worn finish and patina
Visible “GR” marking/initials on the frame hardware
Includes the components shown in the photographs
Condition:
Vintage/antique condition with substantial age-related wear, oxidation, surface corrosion, scratches, discoloration and patina throughout. Components show signs of age and previous use. Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact condition.
Important: I have not been able to definitively authenticate this as an original Owen Jensen machine, so it is being offered as a Jensen-style vintage machine rather than represented as an authenticated Owen Jensen original.
This would make an interesting addition to a tattoo memorabilia collection, antique tattoo equipment collection, display, or restoration project.
Please note: Sold as pictured. I have not tested the machine for operational use. Due to its age and condition, it is being sold primarily as a vintage collectible/display piece.
Please study all photos carefully — they are part of the description.
