We found out it is a Domestic Model B made around 1870 and 1890. It has 3 sets of serial numbers but not been able to look them up yet. Really don't know where to find them. I am waiting to get on Needle Bar but it takes so long. Only thing we can see that is missing is the shuttle. Every thing else works and seems to be in order. Would like to change it over to a hand crank if possible.

Is it bad that I'm scared to even go looking for a "new" machine? I'm afraid if I end up at the thrift store, antique store, or Craigslist one will follow me home. I don't have any more room for sad orphan sewing machines! LOL

She has been cleaned, but she still needs her coat of Liquid Gold.

There is a Yahoo Group -- Vintage Viking Sewing Machines -- Pre 1980. Similar to the Singer Group. Most of the same people are on both groups. They are very knowledgeable and can probably help you with specifics on your machine. She sure is beautiful. I had bid on one on eBay also, but it was too high for me.

I just won an auction on shopgoodwill.com a Husqvarna Viking Automatic Type 21 machine in its original case. I am very excited but wish I could find someone who is familiar with these.
