I got this today and from what I can find it was made in 1922. The pics were taken with my cell phone so they aren't the best. What do ya'll think?

I think it is neat and you are very lucky :mrgreen:

Beautiful!

B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l.......course, I have one just like it!!! I haven't used mine yet but hoping to try it soon.

Beautiful machine! :thumbup:

beautiful, have you sewed on her yet?

Nope haven't tried it out yet. It is in beautiful condition though.

Lucky YOU!!! She's a beauty!!! :D:D:D

Lovely! Looks like it might be the kind that has a knee bar that plugs into the front of the base. If so, the knee bar should be inside the cover.

Absolutely beautiful. Since I got my first vintage Singer I have barely used my new Janome, not the top of the line by all means. I just love the old Singer stitches and the way the hum along.

My husband doesn't seem to understand. He keeps on asking why I sew so much on that one than the new one. How can you explain? There is just no comparison to the stitching as far as I'm concerned. But tell that to a guy who used to staple his hems!!!

Beautiful machine! What are you going to name her?

You ought to go and show it on the vintage machine thread. I bet Billy would have lots more info for you...

She is gorgeous! Congrats!

That is such a pretty machine. Great find. I'm happy for you.

Aw, great machine, its so pretty!

Don't know what I'm gonna name her. The lady I got it from said it's the hand crank kind. I'm not sure???

Wow, she is pretty.

I think you are one lucky lady. Congratulations.

mmm,,, I think the pictures are not clear enough,,let me send you my address and you can mail it to me,,and I can get a better look,,,, :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

But seriously,,, it is a beauty!!!!!!

Wonderful.

VERY nice!! :) Congrats!

very pretty...avatar too ;)

I thought I found myself one similar to yours last week at an auction. Then I lifted the beautiful rounded wooden top......and the case was empty! I bought the empty case anyway!

I am very envious of your find.

I love the wood in the case - is that tiger oak? Very pretty - enjoy sewing with her.

I think she is truly lovely. They are works of art to be used and saved.

Very pretty Decals are in great shape

I have one this old my husbands mother passed and she left it for me.I had to singer send me a copy of the instruction book
so i would know how to use it

Nice!! Lucky you!!!!

Beautiful.

My mother-in-law had 1 just like it. She passed away back in 2001. I'm the only family member who sews, but doubt I'll get it when my father-in-law passes.

I can't use my sewing machine, cause I don't own one! Never have so I gotta do it all by hand. I did join my local quilt shop for a quilt that will take 1 yr to complete. It is the first time I have used a sewing machine! WOW!!! On block 2 now of the quilt. It will be a Sampler Quilt. It is black gray and white. Sorry no pix yet.

I have never heard of stapled hems before!! LOL!!! But hey! Sounds like it worked!!! Stapled hems!! Cool!! Too funny!!! Were they big staples, or little staples??????

8-) :-)

She's a beauty!

very nice I have quite a few vintage machines and use mine more than newer ones too!

I think it is gorgeous, and you are very blessed!! Have fun with it.

I have two Singer 201 (1938 and 1958) and one Singer 301 (made in?) and a Singer Featherweight (1952) in addition to my Bernina 930 (1983).
I bought one Singer 201 for $150 around 1985 but don't remember where.
I bought one Singer 201 at a Singer sewing machine store around 1988 for parts for 25 cents (so they could take it off their books) and had it repaired for $70 (it needed a new motor).
I got the Singer 301 at an antique shop. I saw an "odd" shaped suitcase in a stack and "checked it out". I asked to plug in the machine to be sure it worked...it did...and paid $25.
The Featherweight was inherited from my aunt (the original owner) via my Mother in the late 1990's.
My Bernina 930 was new in 1983 for either $1,200 or $1,400 when I received a surprise inheritance. It has been my best gift to myself as its tension is so dependable. (Sadly I have lost the bag containing all the machine feet. Boo hoo!)
They are all wonderful machines.
