That is the same machine I inherited from my aunt. It was born the same year as me! Love Singer attachments. If Bernina made them today they would cost a fortune.

Maybe Grandma slipped in a sewing machine when no one was watching. LOL Perhaps our generation is not the first to "hide" a few purchases from the man of the house.

Beautiful Machine, I have a 15-99 and find I can sew a straighter stitch then on my Baby Lock or my Elna. Enjoy your treasure I am sure you will love the way it sews.

You have a nice little 99K here! I too stumbled across a 99K recently (for a song I might add) and it is also in a cabinet. The cabinet for this little 3/4 size machine is not so commonly found and is worth as much or more than the machine. By the way, mine was also made in Clydebank, Scotland and was produced in 1954. Aren't they lovely?
I recently acquired another machine, a Singer model 27 (made in 1901!) with Pheasant decals in mint condition and as to the cabinet...well...I will let the picture speak for itself. I am just a proud "mommy" to this one and so happy she came to live with me!
She could have chosen a Queen or a First Lady or a Princess to live with but she lives with me instead, lol!

Thanks everyone! If anyone can describe the darning foot to me, I'm stuck on that. Charlee said she saw it but I don't find it myself. Maybe someone can point it out to me in my picture? Has me stumped. :(

Wow! That is a beautiful machine and cabinet!! I love the decal work on the machine - beautiful. My hubby's aunt had a cabinet like that and I loved it. And her daughter didn't save it. :cry:
