That early Singer motor looks like a knock-off of the Hamilton Beach. Check out the two metal strips in front and in back of the bed. ...

Yeah, that sounds right...I kinda meant to echo what you said before about leaving the factory. I also read that Singer didn't want to sell centennial-badged machines in 1952 because people might...

I love the jeweler's bench too, but it's missing a lot. Miriam, people use old windows as picture frames or other decor, especially if they have multiple panes. The old wavy glass is fast...

I never see nickel 15s. I'm almost tempted to go look at it but can't buy it at this price.

I think he's reading the s/n incorrectly. There are no numbers that start with single letter A. The only possibility is EA1663xx, which would be a 66, 1924. And it's a side clamper. And he's...

Yes. I think she means that some machines manufactured in 1948 would not be sold until 1951, at which time they would get the centennial badge.

This one is interesting because the receipt is dated 1925 but it's a back clamper which they stopped making in 1923. I can't really read the receipt, though. I think it says $45 less an...

He wants more than the one in the "appraisal" because his is in a cabinet. It's as if he went to ebay, sorted by "highest price", picked the first machine on the list and declared that his machine...

Ohhhh...*that's* why it's $800...it comes with a horse!



Ironically the numbers don't match. It's a 66 but the manual is for a 15. Busted!

Poor guy -- his price went from what, $500? to $200 to $50 and now he finds it's worth 15. What a buzz killer (for a smokin' guy).

I think it's smart, too. But there is a regular light bulb in there, and I agree it might get hot. You could replace it with a low wattage compact fluorescent and it would be very bright.

Okay, this isn't a giggle or a sewing machine or even vintage, but it's creepy. Sometimes I browse the "free stuff" category. Ever notice how a lot of ads say that the items don't have bed bugs? ...

More crimes against sewing machines. This one looks like a 99 clone. Maybe whatever they did is reversible.

She could be a hoarder. By now the machine might not even be visible, let alone accessible.


After I posted I remembered you're trying to get rid of machines, not adopt more!
