Good catch Macybaby. (And that’s why Singer called the Model 66 the “Twentieth Century Machine”, if I understand it correctly).

CD in Oklahoma

That's why this one's so rare.

I didn't know domestic free arms were produced that early. Both are beautiful machines.

Steve,

Funny, I was just reading up on the past "center of the American glove making industry", Gloversville, NY. Ismacs description of 46K1 glove machine:

"Piqué" stitch (two-thread, double-chain stitch). Combined top-feed and vibrating presser. 5 3/4" clear to right of needle. Speed 700spm. Narrow "post bed" for stitching fingers of gloves.

They must be running low on Featherweights to repaint. There were enough of those machines made that custom painting them isn't that big of a deal.
I have a White rotary in bad shape that I will probably paint a color other than black. If a paint job keeps a machine in service instead of being scrapped, it's not a bad thing.

I agree with you Rodney, but to repaint machines in volume like this person does isn't saving them, it's purely for the money.
