ID help for an 1879 Singer please
Hi all. I just got a "new" machine. Ismacs dates it as 1879, but does not list a model. I am stumped. It seems to be to be like someone else's machine that was badged Singer. Under bed mechanisms don't seem to match Singer. The face plate is unusual and made of cast iron. Bobbin is rotary, but vertical with an over center locking pin. 3 slides ( 1 missing) ID number is on the far side of the pillar. SNMCO isn't on any part I can find. What strange creature do I have?
