Singer model 27 "Ella"
I decided to start a new thread regarding Ella, the Singer treadle machine that Kayluvstoquilt gave to me.
I'll be posting all questions and progress on her here from now on.
First thing is the serial #. I'll freely admit to having very little experience in this area but she has the smallest serial # on a Singer I've seen so far. If I'm reading it correctly, it's D6145. I didn't know Singer dropped the zeros on low numbers. Anyway, according to ISMACS that means Ella is one of 15000 Singer model 27s that were allocated for production on January 1, 1908. That would make Ella the oldest machine in my "collection".
I also have questions about a couple of the attachments that came with the machine but that's going to have to wait until I get new batteries in our camera.
