That was fun to read, Kapatt....thanks for the link!

Thanks, Margie.....I know it will be fun to use and I have my granddaughter in mind for it so we can both sew together. She'll love it!

Your machine was built in 1960 at a factory in Clydebank, Scotland. It is either a 99K, 185K or 192K model, according to the Singer support page.

Thanks so much Mytwopals! This like havinging a brand new toy.....lol!

I have a spartan also,and I know it was made in canada,but I am not sure which is the serial number,there is a series od numbers on the side under the wheel

Does the series of numbers start with 2 letters and then numbers?

Its a 192K with only 50,000 machines allotted for all models that run in January 22 1960. All of those machines are 3/4 sized machines and all are very good machines to have. It a shame that it didnt come with a cabinet those are not the easiest to find.

But you did get a wonderful deal on your new machine and it looks really nice!!

This is a 185 that I am working on now, yes its a complete basket case and it took a cutting torch and a 3lb hammer to take it apart. But it will get a complete repaint and all new parts inside and will be just like a new machine before its over with.

Yes thats your serial number.

Spartan was the economy model for Singer, still the same quality as the Singers just badged as a Spartan.

Congratulations on your great find! I am glad you were able to get it! :lol:

Thanks everyone, for the comments. I'm thinking that I may just see if I can adapt it to a sewing cabinet that I have here that has no machine in it. Otherwise I will have to figure out a way to fix the base so that the machine doesn't wobble in it. There are some rubber stops on the inside of the base that are missing and am not sure where I'll find replacements for those. Otherwise it just needs a good cleaning.

I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning......isn't that silly?..LOL!
