I am going to an auction this wknd, lots of really good old collectibles (granite ware, crocks etc) including these 2 sewing machines.
...I have absolutely fallen in love with the blue and yellow machine in pic 1 - hope it looks as good IRL as it does in the photo! ...can anyone tell from the 2nd pic what the black Singer is, I am too new at this to be able to tell models just by looking at them. Thanks for looking! Joann |
That black one may be a 99 in a cabinet...which is hard to find. But can't be sure because I don't know the size of the box sitting on it's bed. If it's a standard attachments box, then I would guess it's a 99.
Couldn't see much of the blue/yellow machine in the pic, but it looks interesting and I would like to see more of it. Hope you got one or the other. |
The black one looks like a 201-3, but am not 100% sure (can't see the motor). The tuquoise box is a buttonhole attachment for low shank machines (or should be-that is what came in those boxes).
Can't tell what the blue and yellow machine is but think it is a 50's or 60's japan-made machine. Probably very strong machine, if it is in good condition. Pat |
the black singer looks very nice

Sorry guys, didn't notice that the uploader chopped the right side off of the first photo...let me try again!
...and per your suggestions I looked up the 99's and 201's - it has a stitch regulator like the 201 series - found this link on sew-classic for a 201-2 http://blog.sew-classic.com/2008/11/...ne-review.aspx Pat - you can see the motor...look at the reflection in the mirror behind the machine! LOL ....I know, I know, it still isn't clear enough! guess I will just have to wait until Saturday! I will have to have a discussion with the photographer on Saturday and tell him how to take a good decisive pic of these machines for their advertising :-) sewing machines usually go anywhere from $15-40, except for FW's the last one of those went for $90.00 so I hope I can pick one of them up (probably the purdy japanese one) |
Singer 15-01 the 201 would have the light up front. If it is a 201 I would go as high as $100 or higher as they are worth more. The 201 has a alrger throat opening. I have both. The other I don't know but I would think the blue one $20-50 if it runs and if the case is in good shape maybe more. The Singer 15-91 $45-125 if it works. This is based on what I find on Craigslist.

My guess was also going to be a 201 series machine (but I am also a newbie at this). You can also see the round inspection plate in that mirror! Plus it looks like it has the flat top under the spool. http://vssmb.blogspot.com/2011/07/vi...ingers_30.html
Both look nice. Good luck!! :o |
Going to this website: http://www.sandman-collectibles.com/...r-machines.htm
and putting in the info as can been seen in the auction photo with only two assumptions (a rectangular slide plate*, and flat face plate*) it would be a 99. * These two items can't be seen very well in the photo. Shari |
that's a great info blog Dawn...adding it to my bookmarks - and I guess it isn't a 201-2 as there isn't a light switch visible
