G 0510...shows 1923 made in Eliz NJ...just google Singer Serial numbers and you'll find where to look up.

She is lovely!!! Enjoy!!!

In her class it'll tell the model/class number- free manuals are out on the internet if ou look

I only sew on a 1941 Singer, which looks a lot like yours, and I LOVE it!!!! How much fun it is to sew when there's just nothing to go wrong!!!! (and if something does go wrong, take out the bobbin case, take out the bobbin, put it back in the case then back in the machine....90% of problems solved. If that doesn't work---rethread from the beginning. Problems solved!!!!)

Believe it or not, I buy belts for my 1941 Singer at Kroger. They're sold as vacuum cleaner belts but are perfect on my machine!

I believe that might be a Singer 128. Check out this picture:

I just ordered this same machine, online, and I just love the decals on it. It is not a "red-eye", which would be model #66.

Here are a couple of links to help you learn about winding and loading the bobbin:

Have fun playing with your "new" machine!!!!

Beautiful machine, have fun sewing.

She is a real beauty. good luck with it.

Shes a beaut!

Thanks, everyone.
She is a 128 so I will be checking out those bobbin sites! I looked at Lostn51's tute on cleaning the machine but I'm too afraid. I may ask at LQS if they know of anyone that works on old machines. Years ago I knew a Singer sewng machine repair man but he was quite old and passed quite a few years ago.

Beautiful machine. Happy stitching.

How wonderful for you!!!! :thumbup:

I just remembered that I have one in a box like that in the attic...I bought it from Goodwill years ago...must go searching tomorrow... :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Don't be afraid!! I have a Singer 28 handcrank machine (looks very similar to the 128) that I took apart and cleaned and she runs so-o-o smoothly!!! I had never taken a machine apart before so I took plenty of pictures as I took each section apart. I put the pieces, for each section, in small baggies to keep them separated. Then, after cleaning everything along with oiling and greasing all of the proper places, I put it all back together again by looking at the photos that I took. It was easier than you would think.

Beautiful machine.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Enjoy!

Congratulations on getting your machine. I also found one at a large church sale for a $1.00. I have a cabinet for it but have to redo it. I am anxious to sew with it.

I wish I could find a 28/128 with those decals - they're called "La Vincedora." I've had one with near-perfect "Rococco" decals and two with "Victorian" decals in poor condition. But, they're great little machines and sew beautifully, as well as being really pretty to look at.

You can often find antique/vintage attachment sets on eBay pretty cheap if you watch for them.

Very pretty!

That's her! Thanks for the links!

No name yet.

AC615282 What's your idea? Were you right?

Beautiful machine :roll: :lol: ;-)

What a wonderful treat. I have one similar that is hand turned crank in the same type case. It is in excellent condition. My children paid $125 for it for my Christmas present! I am a blessed lady to be sure. I know you will enjoy yours. I printed the manual free off the internet.

That is one fab machine l love it thank you for sharing
