I have a friend that lives in North Beach and is trying to pick it up for me now. Hope I get it and will give it a good home. Thanks for posting the listing.

Billy and everyone, I just bought a Singer Treadle serial number L1138571 or L1136571 for $5 from a guy that just wanted it gone. It is in terrible shape, most of the decals are wiped off. It is a long bobbin, bobbin winder set low on the machine. The decals were birds -- it looks like it was a knock out beautiful machine at one time. It looks like all the parts are there, but none of the accessaries. The cabinet is wrecked, missing the middle drawer and falling apart. She was destined for the dump -- I had to save her!
Billy or anyone is this a Model 27? Made sometime in 1901?
Thanks you guys!
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
It appears that you are a new owner of a Singer 27. 1 of 39,900 made on Nov. 18th, 1901. Congratulations! Sounds like you have a little work ahead of you but I am sure you'll enjoy the process :)

Numa,
Do the feeddogs move freely with out the plate, then not when you put it back? Does the needle go straightly through the needle plate?
Remove the bobbin and bobbin case.
Turn the hand whell until the needle is at its highest point.
Replace the bobbin and bobbin case firmly.
See if the top thread will loop the bobbin thread while you hold both thread ends.
If the feeddogs are not fouling on the stitchplate/needle plate cover, I have no other idea.
Aardie.

Let me check and see if I do have the foot pedal buttons they are easy to put in and the pedal is real easy to rewire!

Boy I see everyone has had a really productive weekend so far with finding deals on machines!!!
Lisa you really have my interest peaked there love I am wondering what the surprise is?!?! Those are gorgeous machines and I just love the Jones treadle, the decals look to be perfect!
I found a vintage Kenmore at the thrift store the other day that I am going to list for sale after I clean and service it. It is a 1962 Model 29 and in REALLY nice condition and was not used much in its life. I pulled it from its cabinet and I will sell it as a portable.
But other than that I have not done anything but watch my pupper, watch the pile of sewing machines I need to service grow and trying to keep up with the orders for my new vintage sewing machine parts business!!
