I can't figure out how it was used, it looks like it might have to be connected to another machine. Do you know if that's true? Also, how did you get it so spiffy looking? Do you use a special polish on the finish?
Thanks.
Bev that is a Singer Model 24 and it need to be mounted to a plank so I can use it in my central treadle in the studio. But it is a treadle powered machine and it is a chain stitch machine. It does not need a bobbin to make a stitch just a top spool.
The machine was a total wreck when I got it and locked up. I had to do a total repaint on it and I powder coated the silver items to keep from having to replate them. I will post some before and after photos of it for you.
