Old singer/Rebecca?
My daughter has an old singer w/ cabinet, but I think it also can be taken out and used as portable? Anyway, she has advertised it for sale and received an inquiry, and the person called it a "Rebecca". Not being an enthusiast of vintage machines, don't know what that means. Maybe someone here can give some info on what that might mean. Thanks....

I've never heard a Singer called anything remotely like that. There was a Singer Merritt. Several manufacturers in the first 100 years or so of sewing machines badged machines with many names on them but to my knowledge Singer wasn't one of them. I think the Italian Necchis were the most famous for giving their machines girls names but there was never a Rebecca. I'm stumped.

My daughter posted it ( info and picture)on some sort of local garage sale site and this was one of the responses. The person left a phone number and asked for a call back so she (presume) could ask some further questions. Will let you know after telecon....
