Here is a picture of my recently purchased Singer 27. I got it for $25 and have spent some more for a new belt and attachments. I am looking for some trim for around the treadle belt openings and a wood dowel for the bigger spools of thread on the back of the top. I also am in need of one lock for the draws. Would be willing to buy another set of draws as the tracks are worn badly.
Any help would be great, Thanks Patrick.

The machine is all there and just needs some TLC to get her up and treadling.

Geeze, that machine looks great for being over 120 years old - I bet it is that old any way!
Congratulations!
