I love it Ninnie!!!

I love those Old Singers. Never can find one to buy around here.

She's pretty!!

Beautiful! What year was she made? I have two similar, one was my grandma's, one i got at a garage sale for $10.

according to the #, it was made in 1910

Pretty I want one so bad but atm finances won't allow it :(
Anyway went and checked Singers site and seems that beauty was born in Elizabeth, NJ March 16, 1910

lol we were posting at same time Ninnie ;)

LOL We were probably looking it up at the same time also!!
I'm going to call them and get more information. I didn't realize it was that old! :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:
Almost 100 years!

Yeh quite the treasure you have there :)

I would love to make a quilt on it. I can remember mly grandmother letting me sit under the machine and pedal when she was tired. It was such a treat to be allowed to do that! :D

hehe Me too, I could sit and watch/help her work that machine for hours and be totally happy.

Our home burned down when I was 14 so her's is gone, but this one belonged to my DH's grandmother, so it is special to him.

I guess I had better take care of it! :lol: :lol:

singer carry's the belt that were i got mine it a nice machine one

Thanks Elsie, I will try them.

Very nice ninnie it looks better than you had first described it to me. They are soo much fun to use, i try to use mine as much as i can for things. :)

Very nice!! It looks great!! :-):-)

Ninnie, very very nice!! Can't wait to see what you create on it!

Oh Ninnie it is beautiful!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
And that it is a family heirloom makes it even a bigger treasure!!! :D :D :D

Well you have a machine that looks almost like mine, but yours is older. Thanks for the Singer chart......it looks like mine is 1924........thanks again for the info. I too bought a belt for mine.........

Thank you. I have just learned that my old treadle was made in 1898.

Looks like the one my grandma used for yrs. How cool :D

What a special treasure :!:

You're welcome. :)
Weeeeee you got a super treasure :)

I have one very similar and the local Singer store carries the leather belt. You will have to cut it to size when you get one. I ove the old one so well that I have 3 that are all early 1900 :D

I just bought the belt today. The lady said to place it in water for about 15 min, and then put on the wheels. Will have to be cut some. Is it hard to do?

i got one at joannes , michels or hancock fabrics.

No, The hardest part for me was to put the little holes in to attach the metal hook. I borrowed an awl from my husband to do that. You will love how straight the sewing stitch is on your machine. I bought my years ago at a local flea market. Since then I have found other great old machine that I clean up and get running again.

the only part that scares me is getting the belt on. I couldn't believe how cheap it was,so if I screw it up, I won't feel too bad. :lol: :lol: :lol: I have another one, but it is in really bad shape, don't think it can be saved, but can't stand to throw it away either. :roll: :roll:

Just found the picture of your old Singer. Now I will have to check the serial number on my old Singer! I have not tried to run it, but it does have a belt. Will have to check it out! Thanks for the link to the serial number to find the age! How fun! :lol:

I klnow!! I had no idea that it was that old!!
I think it will be fun to make a top on a 100 year old machine! :D
