I have been lurking around the board for a couple years looking at all of your beautiful pictures but have never posted until now. I need some help! My wonderful boyfriend bought me this for our 6th anniversary and we can't find any information on it. I have been in contact with the folks at talktous@singer; they gave me some info but it was not right. She e mailed me later and told me it might be an industrial machine and she needed a couple days to see what she could find. I'm patiently waiting for her response but thought I would come to the board for everyone's opinions and knowledge. Any help anyone could give me would be totally appreciated. Oh and another thing, the lady at talktous@singer told me that my serial numbers are not long enough to be a serial number but they are the only ones I can find. I really appreciate any help anyone can give me. Isn't she awesome!! We got her in an antique store and her price was $185 but they took $90 on her!
