I'm trying to figure out what type of machine it is.
The decals say Singer, and it has a good size throat area, just a shade smaller than my 66. But it has some reddish tint to the decals. I KNOW it is not a redeye, but the decals are real similar. It has a drop in area for one of those long bobbins (shuttle right?) no shuttle bobbin casing though. It seems like a lot of money for a machine that can't possibly work with no shuttle. I just wish I could figure out what it is.

Here is the link to Singer for machine serial number that starts with a single letter:

Click on B series for the number and info. Good luck guessing!

Wow I really need to get in the shop more often but between the snake bite and trying to keep up with my customers I am hardly on the internet at all.
I am working on something for me for once. :D I am getting my FC Henderson ready to put on a treadle that I restored several months back. I was a W&W D9 treadle but after making the top for it I am going to mount the machine on the top and then fashion a coffin top for the machine and call it done.

My 301A and the 15 clone that I pick up. Did not get a bobbin case with the 301 so I am on the hunt for one. $50.00 on eBay should be able to find one for less. The modern sews as advertised.

Are you sure it isnt a "G" in the serial? If it is then you have a 127-3 with 25000 of them allotted December 23 1918 and was made in St. Jean, Québec.
A nice score indeed!!
Thank you so much!!! In closer look it is a G.but she sure needs some work done on her. Almost a Christmas baby!!!
Once again thank you!
