Oh, interesting! That makes sense. I'd love to see that in action!
Thank you for sharing all these photos all the time, by the way. I get so excited when I see something new like that and you've always got such interesting things to share!

Steve,
Ditto - "Thank you for sharing all these photos all the time..." I thoroughly enjoy seeing the machines from before 1900. I sincerely doubt that I will ever be "up close & personal" with any of them. I really appreciate seeing the machines, the explanation of the working parts and the transformations you have made to these fantastic machines.
Thank you, too, for restoring, preserving and sharing these machines.
Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

I know I've seen a lot of nice machines around Denver on Shopgoodwill. Nothing quite as old as Steve's Singer but still the possibility exists.
Steve congratulations on that Singer.
It looks like a great machine. I really wish I could get down your way.Rodney

All early Singers have two numbers, one is the serial number the other (the lower number numerically) is a manufacturing tracking number. The fun part about this is the ISMACS DB only goes back to 1871.
