    I think your New Defender is a badged machine made by AG Mason...like my "New Florence"...seems that Mason made a lot of "New" machines! ;) Probably early 1900's?
    Hmmm....I think I'll have her pick it up...maybe. It may be gone by the time she strolls in there in the AM. She works nights and would have to stop in after work. Calling her now! LOL! Thanks for the info!

    Janice, you might also want to join the Yahoo group for the Davis machines...they have a lot of files and information there! :) There are also step by step photos of how to disassemble and reassemble the machine's faceplate where all the action is!

    (My machine, on that page, is the New High Arm Vertical Feed, almost halfway down the page)
    Charlee/jjack just in case your machines are lonely..

    I googled singers in bentwood cases and these popped up. Does this help?

    HHHMMMM Maybe if I win it I can pick it up and deliver the 241 to Billy to have him paint it at the same time - save on shipping.

    Wonder how he's doing. Haven't heard anything since Saturday (I think...I had some catching up to do on that) from them. Hope all is well on their home front.

    I have a 1941 15-30 in the bentwood case. Also a 1921 66 handcrank. I get the feeling all the singers that weren't in a cabinet came in those cases. They were considered portable!

    I am suppose to pick up the mystery machine this afternoon. I only know it is electric and in a bent wood case. This is exciting.
