Cabbagepatchkid I just adore your Singer 128. I have never seen a machine with such beautiful decals, so pretty. It is like a work of art and the fact that it sews is just a bonus! Congratulations!
I have a number of vintage machines, but I don't have photos of all of them yet. I'll post them with their info as I photograph them.
This one is a Singer model 27, with 25,000 allotted on January 1, 2010, in Elizabeth, NJ. The serial number is G 22926. It has the pheasant decals. It has not been cleaned yet and the cabinet is currently dismantled because the top was in very bad shape and had to be replaced. I love the gorgeous faceplate.
This is a model 99 handcrank. The serial number is EL 908022, and it was manufactured on November 20, 1956, in Clydebank, Scotland. There were 50,000 machines allotted on that day. I have to get a new bobbin cover for it yet. My kids love to sew on this machine. The faceplate is very geometric and simple, but is still beautiful.
Oh Billy what did you start??? This is a fabulous thread. Such beautiful machines.If they all could talk what would we hear?.You can almost hear them speaking.Maybe I better cut back on my meds.lol. Mary
What a great idea. What beautiful machines. Will have to take pic's of mine and post one of these days soon.
I have several vintage machines...but these are the only two that I have pictures of...
The first is a Pfaff 130 in a maple cabinet...purchased for $5.00 at an estate auction. In perfect running condition! :)
The second is a Featherweight with the table that I purchased at an auction for $110 for both table and machine! She needed a servicing and an oil drip pan when I got her. She's now up and running beautifully! :)
Pfaff 130
1946 Featherweight and table
Two Singer 66-1 with Brown Lotus decals and back clamps. The spoke wheels are slightly different; one is larger than the other.
One machine has mount for adding hand-crank or motor.
1914 Singer 66-1 with smaller wheel and mount.
1907 Singer 66-1 with larger wheel, not side mount for hand-crank
the mounting area for handcrank or motor
no mounting area. larger spoke wheel
Nice!! Are those both the brown Lotus?Quote:

First photo is straight-leg treadle. Second photo is standard treadle. Third photo is standard treadle with cabinet that once had wooden legs and was used for e-machine. I just mounted this cabinet on treadle since the treadle's cabinet was beyond hope.
