So anyway, I got the serial number from her, she figured it would be around 1920 because grandma got it from her parents as an 18th birthday present. (BTW, grandma is still with us at age 100)
The serial number places it as a Singer 128K handcrank made in 1922. The wooden bow case is in good shape. The machine is in clean condition but needs some adjustment to sew better.
I've had a happy couple of days!!
That is so cool! I love reading stories like this. Enjoy your machine!
Being your dear Grandma's makes it even sweeter.
