Update to 'What model Singer is this?" She's home
Oookaaay. Here goes.
YES! She is home <bg> She's fairly dirty and will take some time cleaning her up but the good news is the shuttle is there and there are two bobbins one of the drawers. No guarantee they go to this machine though. Don't know if there is one in the shuttle yet and may not get that far tonight. I'm pretty beat. (Sorry, I've been up since 2:20 this morning.)
She is adorable. Decaling is still evident but then again I can't figure out what model she is for me to get a look at another machine to compare. Her table is definately shot, beyond shot actually, but the cover and the drawers are very salvagable. <yeah me!> Um, hubber... :-)
Regardless of the photos, she really doesn't have heavy rust. I'm guessing her wheel will clean up pretty decent.
If anyone, hint, hint, could help me identify this model I would be appreciative.
The bobbin winder - hm, not sure if it is completely intact or not. I think it might be. Surely new rubber is on the shopping list.
Can't quite figure out how to date her - this is how her numbers read - 616865 space, just space, not like something is missing, then 504865. Last patent date on her slide plate is Oct 9, 1855. Oh, and the center slide plate was found by dh in one of the drawers. Sweet!
Best,
