I compared the decals to my Sphinx and they are the same decal just tinted differently. I previously wondered if it could be like the Brown Lotus - paint color tint issue making it more rare??? Does anyone have any ideas? SN# C7770783 which indicates that it was manufactured in Prussia Germany - but the records have been lost. Judy Nancy Judy |
While browsing in an antique shop today I came across some Singer buttonholers. Both are complete sets, including manuals. One has the Singer Brand on it, it's manual has a 1948 copyright, and it is priced at $7.50. The second one is in a Singer case, has a manual distributed by Singer, a 1956 copyright, but the brand name on the buttonholer & manual is Griest. It's price is $15.00.
What I'm wondering is if either one of these will work for my Featherweight and/or 15-91? If yes, which one would you get? |

column on right with red lettering, and then click on AE series, then scroll through to find group where your number falls into: AE-618391-658390 15 40000 September 1 1937 |
Here is my latest quilt, Eagle Scout quilt, that I pieced with my Eldredge Two Spools, quilted with Singer 201K, attached binding with Davis NVF, and finished off with decorative stitch from Singer 238K- all in treadles. I love my vintage machines and treadling them!

While trying to pass the time in the hospital, following a total knee replacement, I kept-up as much of my computer routine as possible, which meant watching CL in several near-by cities. Lo and behold, a Singer 301 for $150. I promptly e-mailed, explained my situation, and asked the seller if the machine could be held while I arranged for someone to pick it up in my behalf. Multiple e-mails to seller and friend and finally got a message from the friend, "Got it."
I'm home now, and can't wait to see the friend and the new machine. I can do the upper body happy dance, the lower bod will have to wait a while. |

Would this be considered a blackside? Anne
Nancy Seems like everyone is correct. lol. A true (?) blackside machine had all the chrome pieces in the black finish just like Nancy/Billy said. But then it also seems as if Singer had a storehouse of blackside parts and attachments that continued to be put on machines after the war, even when the machines had other chrome parts. Attachments were made out of partial chrome/blackside bits, and blackside attachments can be seen with non-blackside machines. A good example is the adjustable binder. Ever notice how you can find that old singer part in all chrome, all blackside, or 1/2 and 1/2 where part of the attachment is chrome and another section of it is blackside??? I have all three in my 'attachment collection' as it were. Singer also, I believe, when they got back to making sewing machines after the war effort, did a lot of refurbishing of machines. Could be that blackside bits, parts, attachments were put on the earlier models during their factory 'refurbishment'. But that is just my conjecture, I do not know for sure. Singer factory history is pretty interesting. I would love to have one of the very few Singer guns.... but that is a WHOLE 'nother thread! |

If you can try the machine before you buy it, do so. If the drive puck is worn out (very short stitches at max setting) and the moving parts are rusty, pass on it. If the seller wants more than $100 - $200, pass on it." This is what I found on it. |
