Yea, I think you’re right Jon. I had to go back and do some more studying. I tend to forget about the 27K3 and 27K4 machines.
Oh well. Probably not the last time that I’m going to be wrong, and I have a lot of fun trying to identify things like that.

A few folks are really clueless.

I don't think I have ever seen one of those that didn't have a brown crinkle finish.

I forgot to ask. That 27? that CD posted has a case that looks much older than the round top Singer cases I'm used to seeing. When were those cases made? If I saw that machine myself I would have guessed it was made in the 1890s based on the case design. Also, is $850 reasonable for that machine. I'm clueless.

Wow! I've got a lot of things to say this morning.
We laugh sometimes about the prices and descriptions on these old machines and we have a lot of fun with it. I'm right there doing it too. Sometimes though it doesn't hurt to remember many of these people are not the original owners, many times the machines are inherited, and they know nothing about the machines they're trying to sell. If it's old and black their first thought is it's an antique and valuable. I don't have sympathy for those who buy the "antique" and try to flip it for an unreasonable amount though. They should research prices on their own.
A few short months ago I had no interest in sewing or vintage sewing machines and was right there with them. I've just taken the time to learn what I can since I'm interested and I have a long way to go.

I wonder if these folks will ever sell this machine. They will probably have to get closer to $100 for anyone to bite, though even at that price, most folks will opt for a vintage machine over this one.
