My yardsale find!
#44
I have what looks like the same machine! I believe it is called "The Rocketeer" and it is the last all metal model made. Mine is missing the foot pedal/power cord, but I've found some online and just need to make the purchase. Here are some links you might enjoy looking at: http://www.singer500a.info/

Now I keep wondering...was it NO GOOD or GOOD and no one knew.
Thinking about knocking on the door and asking to see it.
Would that be embarrassing?????

Great find. My mom had a machine like this. My sewing days as a child started with hand, then the treadle and finally I got to use the electric machine which was not very old at that time. I loved that old singer; it was a great work horse.
