Anyone know what a 27-4 is? Thanks for any help you can give.

I want to say so badly 23, but I know it must be something else. Sorry :roll: Good luck.

In reference to what? How was it used / said?

cjomomma 08-16-2011 08:31 AM

Can't say that I have ever heard of it.

Perhaps you mean 24/7?

twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week


I just googled it -

The first thing that came up:

27 - 4 = 23

The next things were references to Bible verses.

Urban Dictionary has the following entry:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=27%2F4

I don't know if any of these explanations make any sense in the context the OP came across this.

Reference to something that is done or available 24 hours a day, every day of the week. :)

vjengels 08-16-2011 09:04 AM

are you sure it isn't 24/7?....

April 27th?

Jammin' Jane 08-16-2011 08:29 PM

Um, I'm stumped!

Someone posted a s.m. on craigs list with a serial # D108612. When I looked it up on
Singer's site it said it is a 27-4 made in 1908 in Eliz, NJ.If I ever find out I'll post it. The Singer tel # was busy constantly.

It means that what ever it is referring to it is 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. Such as a store open all the time, or a mom who is available to family 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
