Your machine looks a great deal like the Singer I learned to sew on which I think was purchased sometime in the 1940s
It was a great machine. Wish I still had it, but I wasn't smart enough to salvage it from the remains of our house that burned.

i wonder if you could type the instructions in the computer then use the translator, i am not too bright about stuff, but it might be fun to try, it is a beaut

Nice find.

What a great idea! One I will certainly use!

If that proves to be of little help I will probably have to find someone who speaks and reads German to help me.

Fortunately, the German Air Force has a small base here at Holloman. My husband teaches out there and often has German students.....(hmmmm, now the old cogs are turnin'!)

Glad she found a new home. Once you get her up and running you'll be sewing quilts with a German accent. :)

Great find!! One to save.

That or every time I sit down to sew on her I'll start craving a good beer..... ;-)

The fellow who had her said he thought she was from the mid-40's but wasn't sure.

So sorry your house burned, what a terrible thing to go through!
