Confused About Machine
Howdy,
I read alot on here but I am really not a talker so I never post. I however am completely stumped by a few machines and figured I could go to no other place to find some knowledgable people who may be able to point me in the right direction. I have a German Singer Sewing Machine with a Cooper Plate on the front. The Singer seal is actually not a medal medallian but instead stamped on and written in German. The serial number starts with a C and according to what I can find on dating was made circa 1929. Now I would call it a 201 as I already have a one of those and they look identical but the dating would suggest otherwise. I am completely stumped I can find no information on German Machines to begin with let alone with a Cooper Front Plate. I was hoping someone might know something or at least a direction in which to fly. I also have one with some sort of dial and a few others that are weird, but this is my favorite. |
A photo would be helpful.

Welcome to the Quilting Board. What's a "Cooper Front Plate"? Yes indeed a photo would help a bunch. Joe |
First and foremost - welcome to the quilt board - I see this is your first post, hope it won't be your last! If you could post pictures of the machines, I am sure someone here can help you. You mention one with a dial. Is it a sliver dial on the bed of the machine, next to the bobbin winder tension? If so, it may be a 101 - but again cannot tell without a picture or the serial #. Post the serial #'s if you can't post a pic.

I want to see it.

If the sewing machine was made in Germany circa 1929 then there will not be any records for it. Those records were lost during WWII. I agree with the others, we need to see some pictures to help you further. Welcome to the Vintage Sewing Machine thread.

Sorry try as I might, every time I tried to upload the photo last night. It kept telling me "upload fail". Same thing this morning. So I got a photobucket account and am trying to do it from that. Still having trouble. Any ideas

[ATTACH=CONFIG]361489[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]361490[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]361491[/ATTACH] Got it hope this helps... This is the German with the Cooper Plate, I made sure to get a picture with the serial number for help.
I am also going to post pics of the other German which is a treadle, but I know what that is because it was tagged. It was supposedly a rare 15... but the treadle iron is brown which is cool. I am also going to post pics of the dial machine, but thanks to Linda I am sure what she described is what it is. The only other machine I am unsure of is a New Cottage, and I just simply can't find any info about them. Other than that I think I have figured out all the rest of the machines.... or simply got rid of them. |
