Nancy, That quilt above the machine is cute! Where did you get that pattern? I want to make one.

I have to say again that I really like the look of your 319 in that cabinet. The machine looks so happy!!

That is a Singer 99K and is a really nice machine to own, I have several of them and I really like them. It is a 3/4 machine and is a baby 66-18 essentially with the back tack feature and sharing a lot of the same parts as a 66. I have a handcrank version of this machine in the classifieds and I can say it lends well to the conversion. In fact all of my 99's are handcranks.

Anyway, some paint chips etc. for its age, but it works great now after about 4 hours of TLC. Also, a family photo of the 3, 301's I have. I feel kind of guilty for having 3 of them now!!! But, 301's seem to have turned into my 'specialty' and refurbishing 3 of them has taught me a lot.

I am in LOVE with my 301...I use it every day nearly. It's now my basic piecing machine.

Then on the right, the two bolts looks like the bolts found on the Davis. National Two Spools does have that.

Nancy, Please post a picture of the left face plate area so that we can see that area better. I'm curious as to how the thread is guided through.

Ok Monica, here is a picture of the face plate. This machine threads very simply, but it appears to be missing the check spring too - if it ever had a check spring!

Jon, should it have a check spring on the tension? Do you or anyone else have the check spring, or the thread guide for the bobbin winder?

Ok I see why the slide plate, needle plate appears to be made by Davis, but they are not exactly like my Davis? With the consensous on here that this is a Davis machine - I am going with that!

To answer your questions on putting the bobbin in the 319w now that that machine is in a treadle. No problem, just remove the slide/needle plate like any other machine!

Nancy

To ad confusion to this machine, the manual that came with the machine - I know this is the correct manual for the machine - says, "Silent and Light Running." Didn't New Home use the "light Running" along with their grayhound as their logo?

Stopped by my favorite 2nd hand craft store and found a new attachment for my White FR treadle. I've never seen one before - it's kind of neat looking. It was only $2.95. It came with the original sales slip - $6.95 in August 1928. It's called a Stitch Master.
