Anyone have one of these... are they any good? Or just curiosities? I think it does straight and zig zag built in. But it's an old black singer.... <scratches head> I have a copy of the manual if you need one. Singer 206 K [ATTACH=CONFIG]120512[/ATTACH] |

I have been lurking on this site for a few days. I finally signed up today.
I knew I had one old machine in cabinet and one cabinet without machine. I went in basement to check on the machine that I had thinking it was an old Singer. It is a Free#5 and in good condition meaning no rust just dirty. Needs new belt and the thread spool holder is missing. The the plate on it has patent numbers, I don't think there were any patent pending dates on it. I will take pics soon and post them. Decals are in great shape. The cabinet is the parlor kind with doors on the front. Then I decided to open the cabinet with no machine and found a Singer machine in it! The only number I could find was H1655682. Decals are nice. I'll do more checking later and also send pics. |

I am trying to keep track of all the Free's to compose a dating list. Are there any dates with the Free, like a sales receipt or something? What are the patent numbers on the Free? Nancy Your Singer is a Model 15 with 50,000 allotted Oct 1, 1907. You should be using both of those machines! They are my two favorites! |
