Nice looking machine - never heard of it though.

sure is a pretty one and the cabinet too.

Very pretty machine...I've never seen one like it.

I love it!! Great price too...someone's going to get a great deal! :)

It's lovely but too far away. Someone will enjoy it, I'm sure.

Very nice!! Someone should go get it. It's just a badged name....probably a White or National.

What a beauty. Hardly ever see a cabinet in that good a shape.

If this is in Shorwood Illinois, i may go for it, i did send a e-mail, lets see what they say about this machine.

According to the newspaper article, the owner sent me, by the way its dated 1884 (not kidding) it was a one of the kind made for Singer, the newspaper is named "Michigan Farmer", i am waiting on more info, she wasn't to forth coming in answering my questions, she said it was her fathers machine and she has a treadle and does not have room for this one, i will get it if she is in Shorewood Illinois, the company came out with a new wheel version in 1884. It's interesting to read about these machines

That listing is from the Milwaukee, WI craigslist - so it is Shorewood, WI.
