And the one I really wanted - the Singer 24 - here is the treadle. It's such a cute little thing!
Was easier to take the machine off the base instead of taking the base out of the cabinet.
The seller showed me all the neat attachments that came with it - And I agree, they are really neat!
There's only one problem . . .
But I have a machine they fit too - and a few sets that do fit the 24.
Here is one sign of SMAD - four different chainstitch machines . . .
Then new one is from 1905, the older hand crank one is from 1899.
While the decals are the same, there are quite a few differences.
Old
New
The new one has a side clamp foot, and a more "normal" foot lift lever. The older one has a back clamp foot, and the lever to lift the foot is at the top of the head. I love the spool holder on the new one. The older hand crank one had the spool holder mounted to the base, not the machine. They are both so neat!
So much for cutting down, I gave Joe 4 treadle cabinets and since then I've added 7 cabinets to my shed. I don't recall if I shared pictures of this one . . .
helps to motivate me to get painting so my shed can get done and I can get the nicer cabinets moved to better storage.
