It matches mine that was my grandmothers wedding present from my grandfather in 1919. It has the uncarved drawers, 3&3. You can clean it yourself , so easy and then plenty of oil. Let it sit for a few days then wipe it down in alcohol. It is a powerhouse. It's easy to put on a new belt and probably will need a rubber for the bobbin winder. FMQ is easy on this because of the high harp. I use mine all of the time. The motor unscrews and slip the belt off the motor and back on the lower wheel and it's a treadler again. Oh yes, the wood is top grade and will be gorgeous refinished.

It looks like a red eye treadle that has been converted to electric but has all the treadle mechanism with it. Check, if you can, whether the presser feet clamp on the side or the back..if it is a side clamping machine you will have no trouble using modern presser feet on it (except a walking foot and even that can be adapted I'm told). The rear clamping machines need special feet. It should take standard metal class 66 bobbins and is easy to clean and oil. I have a 1913 red eye treadle and love it.

You can go to singer.com and put in the serial # and they will tell you what model it is, where and when it was manufactured and you can also download a free manual.

The site only tells you the year it was made now. You have to either call them or email them to get the model...I just emailed them and that is what they told me.

Mine is a back clamp and I use the fittings for another later singer and all of my Janome feet work fine on it.
