Stumbled on this thread. Thought, "Oh good, it's old enough the pictures will be posted." Not so, the suspense builds.

She is here! I have done some research on her and this is what I do know so far. If she were a motorcycle, she would be called a "basket case". She is very dirty, rusty, and missing a few parts that I could see right off. According to ISMACS, she is a model 127, made on 10/26/1926, is one of 20,000 made, and her condition would be rated a 4.
I am not ready to take on a repair and recondition of this magnitude so I will probably try to find someone interested in doing a recondition, or possibly someone who wants her for parts. I will never turn down a free machine, but sometimes they are given away because the owner thinks they are a total loss. In this case the owners son just wants to know someone is using his mother's machine. He even gave me permission to sell her if I could find a way to restore her. If anyone is interested, please PM me.

MacyBaby is 100% correct. This is a 201-2 (Gear drive, no belts)

The 201-2 is like the Jeep of Singer domestic machines, It will roll over anything you can feed under it
