He gave me the address, and I said I'd look on the weekend and see if they still had it.
We went back on Saturday, and some time the machine had been marked down to $30. Saturday was 1/2 price day, so we could have it for $15. I decided to take it and see if I could refurbish it and resell it.
I've looked for pictures, and I think it's a 27. I looked on the Singer site, but couldn't tell anything by the SN. I must be missing something.
If anyone has any info on this machine, I'd welcome your expertise.
Thanks,

Darren,
According to the serial number it was made in 1898. I don't know what model number it is tho. Good luck finding that out. Not bad for 113 years old.
Thanks for sharing,
