Almost sure....
She's a 99-13
I know she's from 1926 and through all my novice deducing...I think I'm right.
She's all oiled up and runs great. A bit of sewing trouble until I found that someone had the needle in backwards. I do believe the stitch she provides is excellant!
One question: The machine has not been rewired. Everything seems in great condition. Should I get it rewired? if so, Any idea of cost for that?
I paid $80.00 for the machine with bentwood case, including the oil can and key

That is a really pretty machine. I have 2 99Ks, one electric and one HC. They are handy but heavy.
As far as the wiring goes if it's not overly frayed, there's no exposed wires, and you don't get a buzz, then I'd leave it alone.

Thanks Joe. I get no Buzz and the wiring looks great. Question: On the motor there are 2 look to be oil ports silver on either end of it. Is this motor to be oiled? I have looked everywhere for that info. and cannot find it.

Use Singer Lube that comes in the tube only in the motor. You can get it at Sew-Classic if your LSMG doesn't carry it.
For the regular oil places Tri-Flow oil works wonders. But be sure to use the Singer Lube only in the motor though.

This is the week for 99Ks, I guess. My son came over this morning and said "Mom do you want a 99K? I saw one on CL today for $40 in the Bentwood case", so I am not sure if he will be getting it for me. I already have one, and a Spartan that is a dream come true (clean, quiet, and sews beautifully). I keep buggin' a friend of mine to give me hers, but she says she won't--I can wait and outbid her kids for it when they hold her auction (after she leaves this earth for a better place).....
