I have four machines and all of them are now considered vintage. Each of these machines has its use so I keep them all. My first machine was The Little Touch & Sew Singer model 67A3. Sold as a child's machine but it do any light weight straight stitch job there is. It is a electric, battery and hand crank model. My second machine was the Kenmore 3/4 size portable 158.10401. It is the one with the roses on the clam shell case. S/N 0003334. I got it in 1974. It is a work horse. Sears says it was made by Jaguar/Maruzen. My third machine is my favorite. It is a Winselmann made in Germany. It's S/N is 165773. The model is Hera. It can be used as either a hand crank or a treadle machine. I would love to know more about this machine. It has the long bobbins and I have never used the machine, thought in my cursory survey every thing seems to be in working order. My latest purchase was a Singer Slant-O-Matic 403A for $20 in the cabinet. S/N NB176382 so it should have been made in 1956. I love it. I need the knee bar for it .
