What a totally awesome day you had! How great...a new (old) sewing machine and (maybe) a house! Doesn't get much better than that.

Obviously it was YOUR day! That means you will probably get the house you want; for your "new" sewing machine. People have no idea what value those old machines really are. And since Singer made so many their value (to them) is low. But to us, who use them, they are beyond value. I just remember all those years that every time I saw a new machine with some new fangled gadget, I wanted it because my old machine didn't have it. Of course now I have the newest, best model Viking has, and I was thrilled to get my mother's 1936 Singer running. And now I want to make something on it. Go figure...

If you have a Singer go to singersewingmachine.com. Just get the serial # from the front of the machine. It should be there in plain sight.

Ooooooeeeee!!! Sew happy for you. If it were me, I would have been sick about having to pass it up - no room in my tiny space. Maybe there is not really an identity issue - perhaps you just have one of the manuals upside down. LOL.
