Have you ever seen???
a sewing machine like this? It's on CL and has a coffin top and is in a treadle base. They say it belonged to their grandmother and is a model 72. They're asking $150. Worth it or not?[ATTACH=CONFIG]388269[/ATTACH]

They said 72. I have a 27, and this one had thingies on top of it. I don't know how to make the pic any larger, since I copied it from CL. It was just very interesting. The fact that a 72 is a hemming machine probably accounts for the odd looking "accessories" attached to it. Thanks for sharing that info, Neighmond.

Its an industrial hemstitch machine. I have a similar head only. They're H.E.A.V.Y. I have no clue how mine works....but I know that people have paid ALOT of money for antique industrial heads if they're in working condition. Kinda surprised to see this in a regular treadle cabinet and not an industrial one. I wonder if the original owner worked in a dress shop or something.

"Flat bed. Link take-up. Horizontal rotating hook. Knee lifter. Speed 2500. Two needles; two hooks. Drop feed. For general work.Singer suggested replacement 119W5"
here is the artical about the 72w-19 which appears to be that machine.
