I think you're seeing things...same machine, it just changed it's decals!! ROTFLMAO!! How funny that the lister didn't notice the photos!! Or maybe they're selling two machines?

I Herd Ewe

Actually, they are not the same machine either. I think one of them is a 127 and the other is a 66? Doesn't mention it if the seller is selling 2 machines.

I Herd Ewe

No, not a 66. A 30 I think.

Charlee

I'm sorry...I was being sacastic about being the same machine...

I Herd Ewe

LOL I am just learning which machine is which. Not very good at id yet but I could tell those 2 are not the same. I am guessing from the discription that it is the 127 they are selling?

The second machine is definitely different, it's a model 99. And the different backdrops should clue you in that one of the photos is lifted. I've found some Craigslist sellers will lift photos from another person, because they cannot tell the difference between models and actually think they are the same machine. In this way I was fooled into pursuing a Craigslist lead, thinking I was going to be able to purchase a 31-15 treadle. But the seller had used a photo lifted from somewhere else, and though she insisted the machine in the photo was identical, what she had was a model 95 with an industrial motor.

Pretty sure the one for sale is actually a 128, it is the "small" size. High bobbin wonder and shuttle eject button mark it as a "1"28 as compared to the older 28.
The "wrong" picture is of an older style 99.

Also I doubt the "manufacturing" dates are correct. I would guess this machine to be a "1920's" era machine. The numbers are likely the patent dates stamped into the front bobbin cover slide.

I withdraw my earlier statement, the photo seems cramped (at least on my phone)... So that it does not look as long as a 127, but after looking at my 27 and my 128's I can see that the 'sphinx' decals will not fit on a 128.
It is a 127, that looks very nice and would go right on a treadle cabinet.

I would be VERY, very careful buying from this person. Yes, it's two different machine. Notice the face plate under the needle. One is the shuttle type bobbin and the other is a round bobbin.
