Very early Singer 12 MOP

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SINGER-TR...item339776d5cc

Yes it's expensive but serial is 260322 which puts it most likely in the late 1860s. Never seen one this early (in Australia).

oooo.. she is really nice! I noticed that there appears to be a rectangular cut out/hole to the left of the large MOP on the arm - any one know what that is for?

Steve that toy machine is beautiful! There can't be very many out there and I highly doubt very many were ever made and sold.

Here's a really nice example of a real model 15 Sphinx. 99% of the model 15 Sphinx machines I've seen have decals that are in terrible shape. I wish the camera angles showed the bed better but I don't see much if any wear there either.

I love this thing. The condition is amazing for a 1929 industrial:

Ha Ha - that's what I kept thinking - eye on the prize - I want an early one - a fiddle base - maybe a singer 12 or one with MOP....... LOL.. I want.. I want... I want....
