I have a question. Some time ago I read that on Singer machines the motor boss was put on some machines starting in 1901 and by 1903 all of them had them. I know of a machine from 1910, according to the serial number, that does not have a motor boss. The only thing I can think of is that it was a factory refurbished machine and a later serial number was stamped on it. Any thoughts?
Thank you.

OFF TOPIC - but related....
Last night I was teaching my Armoring Apprentice how to roll an edge in metal and I realized that the metal bit i had just made as a demo looked like it had been fed through a hemmer foot on a sewing machine... so here it is

and here it is from the other end so you can see the goal.

You know it's an addiction when you start using sewing terms to describe work in other mediums.
