Mama...what a great machine! I had to laugh at the beginning, that is the kind of thing that happens to us...gifted the box..no key..LOL! What find though when you got her open.....maybe you could talk to the elderly "friend" of your sister and find out more about how she came to have the machine?

The case is heavy so I know there is a machine in there! But I have no idea how to open the case!! Any suggestions? DH wants to break up the box ( over my dead body!) So while he's at work please help me!!
Thank you!

I believe all Singers keys were a straight key with a sguare end ask your DH if he has a set of 'Torque' screw drivers I misplaced my key for my treadle and thats what I used -I did find the real key -it was right where I put it so I would not lose it during my move-the glove box in my car

BTW if your DH damages that case I will RUN across the pond and beat him to death with a feather duster :twisted:
This is my one:
A Singer 201K sews the most wonderful straight stitch and one of Singer's best machines.
I thought my arm would fall off. I also have a 99K that is using the hand crank. My granddaughters just love using the 99K, they like being in total control.
1936 Singer 201K hand crank/treadle.

Wow, I haven't seen a sewing machine case like this one in ages!! Please don't let anyone break it - I am sure the case alone is a great antique find!!
I am sure a locksmith could easily open it for you and when you do get it open, I hope you will post pictures of what is inside.
