old singer
 

I have been given a old singer machine, I am not sure but the # on it tells me it was made in 1938. it is black krinkle finish
with a shuttle bobbin and a metal rod to insert into the front to run the machine. the wiring is bad so I have not plugged it up.
the bentwood case is in reasonable shape. The number on the front is AF 978420 under the machine it has a Samco10 USA 54564 stamped into the metal. any information I can get on this machine would be appreciated. thanks tinbren

You probably have a 128-23. The serial number was allocated June 25, 1941, so it was made sometime after that. There is a manual for older 127 & 128 machines that should be helpful at https://www.manualslib.com/manual/10...?page=1#manual

I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.
