The top springs are the early version of the take-up. I plan to sew with it.
Jon - yep 13x1 or 1x7 according to the ISMACS needle list |
Oh, interesting! That makes sense. I'd love to see that in action!
Thank you for sharing all these photos all the time, by the way. I get so excited when I see something new like that and you've always got such interesting things to share! |
Steve,
Ditto - "Thank you for sharing all these photos all the time..." I thoroughly enjoy seeing the machines from before 1900. I sincerely doubt that I will ever be "up close & personal" with any of them. I really appreciate seeing the machines, the explanation of the working parts and the transformations you have made to these fantastic machines. Thank you, too, for restoring, preserving and sharing these machines. Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do. |
We will be in Willits California on August 22-23rd with the collection in the Mendocino County Museum if folks can make it.
This is our third year as part of the Willits Kinetic Carnival. |
Interesting machine!! Thx for showing the pics!

I know I've seen a lot of nice machines around Denver on Shopgoodwill. Nothing quite as old as Steve's Singer but still the possibility exists. Steve congratulations on that Singer. :) It looks like a great machine. I really wish I could get down your way. Rodney |

yes, it is a Singer Letter A. It is "almost" Civil War 1865
All early Singers have two numbers, one is the serial number the other (the lower number numerically) is a manufacturing tracking number. The fun part about this is the ISMACS DB only goes back to 1871. great Guess!!! I am impressed here are a couple more... The Machine [ATTACH=CONFIG]523669[/ATTACH] The Treadle [ATTACH=CONFIG]523670[/ATTACH] The foot pedal [ATTACH=CONFIG]523671[/ATTACH] and one of my favorite parts. the pitman.... WOOD... [ATTACH=CONFIG]523672[/ATTACH] |
That is my understanding.... I will not have it in hand for a couple of months
