I'm confuzzled. I found a Singer treadle on CL that I'm interested in, and going to look at tomorrow. I looked up the serial number on the Singer site, but it's not matching what I'm seeing. The serial # is G9005886. According to the website, that makes it a 27. A quick google tells me that the 27 has a vibrating/boat shuttle, but the pic he has posted (I can repost it if it'll help) clearly shows a round bobbin. What am I missing?
It's not a great picture, but from what I can see of the decals, they don't look like the red eye; maybe one of the really flowery ones. Are the decals different between models, or are the same decals on all models from a certain factory/time period?
