Found these this past weekend. Never heard of a Mercury before....any clues.

And the Singer will probably come home with me if it's still there next weekend. It's a 27, and I'm guessing it's vibrating shuttle. Have to get the rest of the pics from my daughter.

And if anyone can tell me anything about this Elgin. I bought it well over 15 years ago for my daughters to learn to sew. Oldest has it now. Runs great, his name is Brutus. But would love to find a manual. Or what model he is.
Thanks,
Kat B

Finally getting some close up pics of my Dearing machine. I'm thinking that this was made by National. Would like to find out for sure. Would also like to find out how to thread this machine. Does anyone out there know anything about this machine? Where I can get a manual? What size needle it takes?

Head saying Dearing there is an F off to the right side

Hi Billy, I still might have a chance to get this machine. the serial # tells me it's a 127 born in 1922 and there are 1500 of them. All of the attachments are with it.

what do you think????
HI :-D I don't know anything about the machine but the fact that is all metal, good condition and all the features it comes with AND its beautiful color, I would say get it. I don't think you can go too far off the track with an old all metal machine. Hopefully, an expert on here will tell you more. Is it from ebay or craigslist?

More that likely it is the 185J which is a Singer 99 in a new dress.

What do you think? Does anyone have a really good picture I can look at? I saw a couple on the web, but can't get a mental 3D of it yet.
You can make another hook in the spring if you are careful but you can find then new on eBay and your local sewing machine repair shop should have them.
