Its ugly but its mine
I went out looking for a universal foot controller I could use on the Singer 15-91 I found a few weeks ago and came back with several, all on working vintage machines. I stopped at one last flea market before home just looking for one that was being sold as for parts that I could rob the controller off of. Back in the of the place I spied a couple antique machines and ask about them since they didn't have a price. The guy said to make an offer so I did. The other machine will get its own thread. I offered the man $20 for BOTH machines and he accepted it, even carried them out to the truck for me.
This is an antique Singer # G5751388. From looking at the Singer date site it appears this machine was made in 1910. Its missing the shuttle and the bobbin but I can find those a bit later. This machine I gave
