[ATTACH=CONFIG]555127[/ATTACH]Nearest I can date it is mid to late 1880's. It's a treadle head which I cannot use, plus I don't have the treadle base for it...Still works great though.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]555128[/ATTACH]This is my sweet Victor hand crank (Singer Clone). you can use one finger to turn the wheel. Been searching for a long time for one...because we lose power up here in the winters. Still thinking on a name.

Also have a 1925 99-13 that sews beautifully, nice stitch...named Luna.
1956 Pfaff6.....love it.....named Moon Shadow.
1962Necchi Nora that is the smoothest machine I ever used..Love her...named Harvest Moon. there was a harvest moon out on the night I picked her up.
1961 503a slant....excellent machine. I was looking for a 401 but fell in Love with this one. named Moon Light.
Pfaff Select not vintage though..named Over the Moon.
Also have 3 more machines...

The Queen is absolutely gorgeous with all her pretty decals.

Thank you...I agree, after 136 years she still looks pretty good & she still works too. It's listed on CL with 2 of my other machines.

So pretty that Queen, especially with the backdrop in similar colors and style. With the curvy shaped base, she could be your Crescent Moon!

Victor is handsome. Since you plan to use him when the power goes out, he could be your LunarEclipse.

Aren't you a clever Girl..Love those, I wrote them down for future use.
I'm getting rid of the Queen, I just have too many....5 are already set up in my sewing room.
Next time I need a name I have them thanks to you...Thank you so much..
