And what is the little whole on the top for?
The hole is for a pincushion! I am going to have to research the machine to see who might have made it. There were alot of spin off companies with the Singer name because of the branding of the machines. But you have to remember this was probably built during the "Sewing Machine Wars" and more than likely helped set some patent laws in effect.

Well, I guess that put an end to the fabric wrapped around the top of the machine then, hey?
