Hello Charlee,

No, it hasn't got a metal cover for the side compartment, but the grooves are in the base to take one. I don't know whether it had one and it was lost, or it never had one in the first place. Seeing as it dates from 1940 perhaps this was an economy measure.

I love the wooden cover on your compartment. My 1916 99K has exactly the same base and case.

I just love these vintage sewing machines. I really enjoy looking at all the pics you all have posted. I have more than 20 working vintage Singer and Necchi sewing machines. I will try to post some pics soon. I hope this thread will remain open for a while longer so more can post their pics.
