Do you know how old this machine is?
Do you know what year this machine is?

I know the site is in Polish, but the pictures should "read" in English.
My husband was wondering. We were curious about the rounded edge on the bottom.
Thanks!

It looks like a Singer class 12, with the Ottoman Carnations decals (mostly worn off, but there are a couple on the back, and you can see some vines below the Singer mark in the closeup). ISMACS shows one from 1899 with complete decals on this page http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...arnations.html. They say the ornamentation set was registered in 1884, so probably 115-130ish years old?
