I just bought a Singer Model TM-10L-E, serial # AF209294. Can anyone tell me more about it? I'll post a picture later. I still have to figure out how to get out of the car. It's in good condition and came in a sewing cabinet. The cabinet could use some work but the machine looks like it just needs cleaning. The only thing missing was the pressure foot but I have some old Singer's that probably will fit. It didn't have accessories or a manual but it does work.

It seems from the registration number that it was made and distributed in April 1939 from the factory in Elizabeth port New Jersey.There are a number of websites with all the Singer registation details. Hope this helps

Oh Sall, I love your avatar quilt. I just love bright colors. Beautiful!!!

I tried googeling the model # but didn't come up with anything. Tried vintage and antique Singers too. Can you post the link?

I googled in Singer machine registration numbers, and a few different sites came up

I found it. It was made in 1939. It's a Model 15 according to the Singer site.

I found info on my Model 15, 1918 also made in Elizabethport Factory, New Jersey. You can find more, including how to purchase the manuals (approx. $15). Google or GoodSearch under "Ehow.com" and also Singerco.com and Ismacs.net Do not oil without the manual. The websites show guides for manufactured dates and mechanics in your area. I had the best help in restoring mine with the help of a Singer technician.

Ooops! I was reading your model number, my machine is a hand crank portable machine model #28, made Jan. 3, 1918, my manual was $15.00 for a hard copy. Also uses the old vibrating shuttle. Have fun with yours.

Here are the pics. They aren't the best. The flash on my camera doesn't work.

OMG!! She is beautiful. You did do good!!!

They had another one where I got this one but it was filthy and looked like it had been sitting in somebody's barn for years. I may go back and get it too if I can convince my DH to refurb it. Price on that one was $30.

Very pretty machine. Enjoy!

Cool! Just be careful with your back when you lift it up.
My grandmother used to always say, you only have back to carry you. The decorative plates and decals look in real good condition, considering its age. This one is a real workhorse, enjoy!
