While my hubby was at a grocery store last Friday, I visited the Habitat for Humanity Resale/Restore place and found the following beauties:
Singer gear driven sewing machine in a cabinet (Birth date 3/27/50). In fab condition- I paid $10!!!
White # 77-165717. I paid $25!!! I cannot find dating for this serial number on the web. I would love to know if anyone knows the site. It has a black crinkle finish and once I cleaned it up a bit it sewed! I have to mess with the stitch length to get a better feel for how to do this. It has 2 dials for the stitch length. Here are the pictures! I named the White Lucy after my golden retriever because the cabinet is blond. The Singer will be Ruby after my other golden because she is more reddish! It was a great find!

WOW!!! Both machines are beautiful, what great buys!!!
Your puppys are cute too :D:D:D

Your machines are beauties. What great finds. I love your doggies too.

here is an email address i just got a reply from about my white Model 77. [email protected] Just send them your model/serial number. I got a reply within one business day, they were really nice too. Limited info, but nice.

Mine looks exactly the same, it was from 1949.

Awesome!

Yea!! Great machines and great dogs, you are a winner!

WOW!!! :shock: Double WOW!!! :shock: :shock: I love that Singer!! Fantastic find!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Your doggies look like real sweeties!! 8-)

Good looking machines and good looking dog too!!!!!

Thanks so much! I just emailed them. Do you have any tips on setting the stitch length? Right now all I can manage to get is about 15-20 per inch. It sews very straight!
