this was a surprise gift from DH today.

i've wanted a machine like this for years.

he got it for $25 and the machine has been rewired and a received a day of beauty by the LQS before the lady sold it to him.

isn't she stunning.


if anyone knows anything about this machine i'd love to hear it - i know nothing about antique singers.

ooooooooo, a Red Eye! How lucky can you get????


That unwieldy looking "handle" on the foot pedal is actually a knee pedal. You can attach the foot pedal to a table leg or the inside of a cabinet and use your knee to sew. I love a knee pedal.

see i didn't even know it had a fancy name.

i guess its a Red Eye because of the red medallion type thing.

Gorgeous machine! I think that one is called a 'redeye' and is very much sought after.

I don't know much about them, but look in the virtual section for the vintage machine topic and the knowledgable folk there can tell you all about it.

I do know you can check Singer's website and input the serial number and find out when and where it was manufactured.

Lucky you! You have a beautiful Singer modle 66. Love the decals. You can look up the serial numbers and go on www.singerco.com websight to find out the date it was made.

Beautiful machine! You'll have so much fun with her!

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell hubby he's a sweetie! :D

thank you for letting me know that, i just asked DH if she told him that and he said no she just used it on the floor like a regular pedal.

Wow! Pretty 66! Your hubby did good~

OMG!! :thumbup: Your surprise gift from your DH is really wonderful!! :D You are one lucky lady. Enjoy!!
:D :D :D :D
