Good catch Macybaby. (And that’s why Singer called the Model 66 the “Twentieth Century Machine”, if I understand it correctly).

CD in Oklahoma

I didn't know domestic free arms were produced that early. Both are beautiful machines.

Steve,

Funny, I was just reading up on the past "center of the American glove making industry", Gloversville, NY. Ismacs description of 46K1 glove machine:

"Piqué" stitch (two-thread, double-chain stitch). Combined top-feed and vibrating presser. 5 3/4" clear to right of needle. Speed 700spm. Narrow "post bed" for stitching fingers of gloves.

Jon

I have a White rotary in bad shape that I will probably paint a color other than black. If a paint job keeps a machine in service instead of being scrapped, it's not a bad thing.

I agree with you Rodney, but to repaint machines in volume like this person does isn't saving them, it's purely for the money.
