Congrats!
Last week I was going through a town that had rummage sales city wide.
Stoped at a second hand shop and asked if he had any old singers, he said, Yeah, a couple of those old anchor weights in the basement.... he said they were only good for anchors. I almost cried.
I didn't rescue the 2 he had, they weren't what I was looking for. sad!

Wonderful. Love my treadle.

You're going to love it! While the round bobbin machines are a bit easier to use, I absolutely LOVE the shuttle machines!! There's just something about them that makes them my favorites! Maybe the "clackety" sound of the shuttle swinging back and forth?
Congrats on getting a good buy!! :)

What a lucky buy. Can't wait to see it cleaned up.

Congratulations! But I think you might have a mismatch between the manuals and the machine. Your serial number corresponds to a Singer 66 manufactured in 1929.

Linda... you're awesome! :) I didn't even look up the serial...am at work so didn't take the time!
