Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Spotted in the Wild today:
A green Necchi...pretty good shape, $15
A little black "SewMaster" $50
A Singer 401A in a cabinet $35
A Domestic with chocolate textured finish and attachments $30
None of them came home with me...but another "Little Girl" pincushion doll, like the one with the blue dress on my shelf, only this one has a pink dress and a scissor holder...and a covered wagon pincushion..

Now they are mostly getting "too old" to spend as much time with gram. So, we are "empty nesters" now and old habits die real hard. I have a cat and a dog and about 24 sewing machines. I guess you could say I have wrapped my life around this quilting and vintage sewing machine thing! I guess it's better than curling up and doing nothing!! LOL By the way, have I said lately how much I enjoy this site and all the "friends" I have made here? Well, I just said it again! I faithfully read every page of this thread, I don't post a lot, unless I have a question or feel confident enough to put in my two cents worth, but I read every word, sometimes twice!!!! Thanks all.

Charlee,
That White Number 8 of yours has gorgeous decals! I have never seen a photo of a White #8. Thanks for posting in the photo shop thread that machine.

Well, I picked up that machine and am trying to identify it.
I went to the website suggested here, http://www.singerco.com/support/machine-serial-numbers, and am not sure I can find it. On an oval plate in front of the base is G0062681.
I assume it is a single letter prefix, but when I go to that page, I do not see anything for 000. Perhaps I'm looking for the wrong number?
Thank you for your help!
By the way, she came with a lot of bobbins.

G- 40001 90000 15 50000 January 8 1910
So it's a Class 15, with 50,000 serial numbers allocated on 8th January 1910 at the Elizabeth New Jersey factory.
'Tis a little confusing at first but after a few tries you'll get the hang of it!! LOL
Hope this helps?
