I have never seen one, but it looks like a beauty, to me.

She's a very old beauty. be very careful when you clean her that you do not ruin the decals. they can not be fixed ! gojo hand cleaner (without abrasive !) works well. sewing machine oil also works to get gunk off. go easy around decals.

Beautiful! Brings back memories of my mother's old Singer treadle, on which I learned to sew.

sorry know nothing about the machine. Check the board for lost 59, or something close. He knows all about the older machines.

It was made by Western Electric that's all I could find out about it...

I may be wrong, but they sure look the same...

Like everyone else so far, I have never heard of this make/model... could it be a "branded" Singer?
I am thinking the other way around. Made for the RED CROSS to use by Singer for taking care of things needed for catastrophes
