Point me to the site that give machines' manufactured dates RE: 1892 Sphinx 27
Well I found a bit of a treasure yesterday. No; I did not purchase it, but I did have a lovely conversation with the owners who were trying to sell it at a yard sale.
I looked, and photographed, and wrote down the serial number. I believe it's a 1882 Singer Model 27. I again have iPod Touch photos, sent to my computer, and I don't know if they'll show up or not.
The model number is 10825974 Every time I try to find that look-up site a get directed to the Singer site featuring the new machines.
The machine I "visited" yesterday has the Sphinx decals. On the left front and left side of the bed they are very worn and/or silvered.
It has the plain, smooth face plate. The bobbin winder is long, horizontal, and toward the bottom of the post. It had a shuttle case in place and four long bobbins. There was a very old motor attached to the machine.
