Yep the pre 1900 Singers had the wooden pitman arm and a few might have slipped into the 1900 run but not many.
Wow I go away for a little while and we are up to 3000 pages! I cant remember what page I was on when I started getting sick but I am going to have fun trying to catch up LOL. I will be dropping in from time to time to try to catch up on the machines and all that you have rescued and to show you a few of mine that I need to refurbish still. Thanks to my daughter she has gotten into the buying role and she has brought home several scores that I am proud of. She is like a nomadic trader when it comes to what she will pay and I will say she is really good at it. I think she has watched one to many "American Pickers" LOL!
