1923 Singer 99K
Hi All, I just received Gertie today. She is a 1923 Singer Model 99K, basically Ernestine's little sister, though her serial number was allocated in Jan 1923 and Ernestine's in Nov. She came in a bentwood case and has the knee controller. My hubby and I had to do a little electrical clean up before plugging her in because she had some exposed wires . She also needed a good lint clean up and oiling. She is in decent shape for being 101 years old. I do have a tension issue that I need to figure out. I think the bobbin tension is too tight. I am getting looping on the bottom, but the stitches on top look great. Anyway, I've included some pictures.
