I seen one of these in a thrift store a couple of weeks ago.
The one I seen was the same size as the 99K. Looked identical to it but said Spartan on it. Really a nice machine.
The Spartan is a Singer. It was their lower line of machines that they tried to sell but never really took off. The Spartan 192 (identical to the Singer 99) was a limited run and they are very sought after. The Spartans and the White Featherwieghts were the low priced introductory models that Singer sold.
