I just bought this 1922 Singer model 66 "Red Eye" treadle machine & am excited to begin the cleaning process so she can be used. I already picked up a new belt at a local Singer store.
"Albertina" was purchased for a few dollars in 1922 by Albertina Nash. She was loved & used by Albertina for many years & many miles. When the machine was passed on to her DIL it became a lonely plant stand. I'm looking forward to bringing her back into action. I've named her in honor of the first seamstress who broke her in so many years ago. This is my first venture into treadling. Thanks for looking at my new, old baby! Jan cabinet in nice shape - needs just a little cleaning [ATTACH=CONFIG]178203[/ATTACH] 1922 Singer "Red Eye" model 66 [ATTACH=CONFIG]178204[/ATTACH] |
Nice score! She's beautiful, and in great condition. Happy Treadling. :mrgreen:

Beautiful. I am so jealous. That is my dream machine. Good luck with her.

Jan LOL, I also have the habit of calling my machines by the original owner's name. I have a "Florence", a "Georgia" and a "Marguerite"... and one with no known history, whatsoever. Lucky you-- enjoy that 66! Is it a back clamper or a side clamper? Mine is a back clamper (1908). |
Congratulations, Jan! Albertina is beautiful! :thumbup:

Hmmm....I guess I don't know what you mean by 'back clamper or side clamper". It is attached to the table in the back. The presser foot lifts from the back, the tension adjustment is on the left of the presser foot arm. The bobbin is round, a drop in horizontal, not the 15-90 vertical bobbin. Please, fill me in - I'd like to learn what you are asking! Jan |
