Ok, folks, It has been a while since I picked up a machine in the right timeframe for my collection.
(Caveat - I will not actually be getting my hands on this machine for a couple of months, because I am unwilling to risk it in shipping. )

So, here you have shown the needleplate, shuttle, presser foot, and serial number.

The Challenge: can you tell me what make AND model this is?
(for 2x extra points: can you date it?)

P.S. Yes, I DO know the Make, Model, and Date of the machine

I don't have a clue, but very interesting pictures. I will be waiting for the answer.

Oh - time to think . . . recently I was reading something about a machine that had two numbers on the plate - but don't recall what it was . . .

I tried searching but I'm stumped. My first thought is Wheeler and Wilson. There is just something about those fat slide plates.

Macybaby

I think I found it - unless their is another with that same slide plate configuration. That is so, so neat that you are getting one of those!

Mrs. SewNSew

Argggh! Now that both of you know the secret I am twice as frustrated!

Is it a Singer model A from the civil war era? Why does it have two serial numbers?

Macybaby

Are you getting a base? and if so, does it look like the one I have?

Is msleepingbeauty00 correct? Curiosity is brewing. And of course we would love to have more photos and the rest of the story.

Thanks to posts here I know what the bobbin is and how to thread it. But that does not change much. It goes to several different kinds of machines.
