I don't have a pic of all of them yet. But here is a pic of the Sphinx we got today paid way too much for it $3.00 yep 3.00 and it sews great. Man said it was in a parlor cabinet and he let it get rained on and it fell apart so he burned it. But we are going to get the irons that goes with it. I looked up the ser# and Singer listing said it is a l5 which it is not. Here's the number see what you come up with. G9450896.
Trish, I think you left a digit out when you looked up the serial number, your number is in the millions and Singer lists that machine as a 127 (which it is) from May 31, 1922, made in St. Jean, Quebec.

Wow, are you going to keep all those machines? Nine machines in 3 weeks is pretty impressive!
