The machine is in prestine condition and looks like it has hardly been used. The story behind this machine is that it belonged to a very old German lady that did not use the machine very often. I am a man 54 year and like to do leather projects and this is my first machine and am looking forward to using her for the first time. I see that everyone names the machine so I will call her "Old Betsie" Thanks for your Post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030554113706204782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928420733044643835.post-17781683512047306102014-11-07T12:35:11.671+00:002014-11-07T12:35:11.671+00:00Hi Anne

Mine was made in Elizabeth, NJ in 1910, I bought her in a yard sale for $10 and I couldn't be happier...I saw her across a crowded lawn and I knew she was the girl for me. Her charm is not diminished by the knowledge that she isn't worth much monetarily , she belonged to the mother of the yard sale proprietor and was used to make her own and all 6 of her sibling's clothes through the 1920's and 1930's. She (The Singer) is in great condition considering she was used as a kitchen counter for her latter years until the attic claimed her dotage...her veneer is still intact, albeit a little greasy and I'm in love with her.

My wife ordered me to garbage pick it a few years ago. She had thoughts of redoing the wood. (Wood is in rough shape) some wood pieces missing. The machine still folds out and in nicely.

Now clearing out so thought I would age it with help of this site. its a s/n starting with 1 but think it really starts 12 because there might just be another digit at the end. This places her manufacture in 1895. Wow. Maybe I'll clean her up, rather than find a new keeper!

She learned how to sew pockets on it. It was manufactured in 1937 in Clydebank Scotland. It has a littel box built in to the cover full of different feet - even a button holer. Your links made it so easy to find. Do you recommend professional cleaning? It feels a bit oily all over but I don't want to mess up the decals.

LOL I loved how you identified your machine and I have a tip to help put a bit of sparkle back on your handwheel. Get a piece of aluminum foil crumple it up in to a little ball, a small bowl of water and then dip the foil in to the water. Rub it on to the hand wheel. It will help clean up the tarnish. I picked up this tip from the american restoration show on tv and have used it on a couple of old chrome needle plates that were a bit rusty. They're super shiny now. <br /><br />If you have any other questions or just like to look at pretty machines check this forum out: http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage-antique-machine-enthusiasts-f22/ foufymaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098781861706652439noreply@blogger.com
