Machine ID verification
My wife saw this machine on Face Book and has been corresponding with the poster:
As best we can tell by the pic and serial #; 10,952,099, it's a 27 with the painted roses decals made in 1892. We haven't ID'd the cabinet yet.
It also looks to be missing the top tension assembly.
Are we close or did we miss it by a city block?
The poster of the machine wants to sell it but I suspect she'll be asking waaayyyy too much.

Joe, the cabinet looks like a typical Singer 3-drawer drop-leaf cabinet. They didn’t put the Singer name across the center support in the beginning. My 1901 Singer 5-drawer does have the Singer name across the support. Looking closely at the left end of the cabinet in the photo, you can see that it has the Singer Logo on the ends.
Hope you get it.

We are not actively trying to get it. More like we're trying to help the gal ID it. It's also nearly a 100 miles away from us, so for us to go for it she'd have to be willing to sell it REAL reasonable like .

She probably wants too much. After all it's in a place of honor next to the garage door and BBQ briquets.
Looks like it'll clean up nicely. I hope you can get it. My guess is you're right on the date.

thats sound like the right year. singer change the center brace in (guessing) 1898 + - , That brace should have a pat date on the back..
I was checking on over last friday. The lady ID it as a mid 1880's same cabinet but a 4 drawer with the silver pull's Aaaaa the machine is a 27 and has the sphinx design. I don't know when the sphinx came out.
