Oh, interesting! That makes sense. I'd love to see that in action!
Thank you for sharing all these photos all the time, by the way. I get so excited when I see something new like that and you've always got such interesting things to share!

Steve,
Ditto - "Thank you for sharing all these photos all the time..." I thoroughly enjoy seeing the machines from before 1900. I sincerely doubt that I will ever be "up close & personal" with any of them. I really appreciate seeing the machines, the explanation of the working parts and the transformations you have made to these fantastic machines.
Thank you, too, for restoring, preserving and sharing these machines.
Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

I know I've seen a lot of nice machines around Denver on Shopgoodwill. Nothing quite as old as Steve's Singer but still the possibility exists.
Steve congratulations on that Singer.
It looks like a great machine. I really wish I could get down your way.Rodney

Oh, VERY cool! I am going to see about attending that, thanks for posting! I miss the Handcar Regattas they used to have in Santa Rosa; this sounds similar, but even better because there will be sewing machines there!

yes, it is a Singer Letter A. It is "almost" Civil War 1865
All early Singers have two numbers, one is the serial number the other (the lower number numerically) is a manufacturing tracking number. The fun part about this is the ISMACS DB only goes back to 1871.
great Guess!!! I am impressed
here are a couple more...
