Hello. I posted a new topic just today "Cobweb OLD singer, info needed" by hevemi. Maybe you could tell me more about this machine. It's been sitting on the very top on a book case for decades as far as we know and only caught my eye this summer. Noone of the family knew where or when it comes from originally, maybe it belonged to my late father's parents, all long gone now. I joked that it will be my new travel model Singer ( weights a ton!)

Actually it looks a lot like an old Consew. There is a Singer 241 in the pictures of someone repairing the timing http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-43881-1426.htm Here's a pic of a Consew - not as old as your machine
