My "New" Antique Singer 66 "Red Eye" Machine- Before and After Pictures!
With a little research I found out my machine was made in Elizabeth, New Jersey around June 10, 1910! My machine is 103 years old! It's mounted in a "Parlor Cabinet".
While I was cleaning the machine I couldn't help wonder who used this machine before. Young - Old - Male - Female - What Stories does it have to tell? Rest assured it will be well cared for so it can last another 103 years!.
What a difference a little scrub and polish can do.
I couldn't wait to try her out so I used cord and dental floss as a belt. It works! She sew beautifully! The stitches are well formed. I couldn't be happier.
I ordered a new belt, bobbins, felt disks and rubber bobbin wheel for about $10 bucks
