Barn Find
4 Attachment(s)
My sister found these, for free, on FB marketplace, and they were actually in a barn. They are each missing some parts, as best as I can tell, and none of them moves, except moving the needle ever so slightly if I apply some serious torque.
The Singer is a 27 with a serial number dated 1909 and actually still has the shuttle in it; I have never used Evapo-Rust, but I guess I will be investing in some. I did wipe down the ZZ machine for the photo, it had a nice layer of dirt on it. I was down to only 2 machines to clean up, now I'm up to 6....how does this happen?? |
Wow. What a find.
Have fun! Watson |
It happens be cause it is an addiction! It looks like you have a great find. Four wonderful machines! Take your time with the restorations and have a load of fun. Don't let them overwhelm you. I can't wait to see them finished. Great find!

Nice score, that 27 is going to be a challenge. I’ve used regular white vinegar to help dissolve rust, by soaking the parts over night. For the old grease I’ll use kerosene in a spray bottle to loosen up the dried out oil and grease.
That zig zag machine has a cool look to it, the 15 clones are certainly good and usable machines. I have an old Japanese 15 and it works great. It came from a land fill “o) |
