This is not a 1879 machine.....its around 1910.
You have a VERY NICE Singer 9W!!! I have one to but it is not as perfect as yours. The machine was made from left over parts from Wheeler and Wilson when Singer bought them out. A very nice and rare machine!!
The needles are hard to come by and are expensive but it takes a Boye 18.
Here is mine and I have not even cleaned it up yet but I lover her!!

Wow, so the serial number 3171412 is wrong for this machine?
I don't understand because I thought all machines made after 1900 started with a letter?
Anyway, I am glad I sent in the pictures -- I was pretty wowed when you said it was from 1879!
