Went to Hillsville Flea Market-Labor day event on Friday---HOT!!! but we survived..
Found a 3/4 size SINGER---shuttle--does not look to have been used much--cords are like new--but everything on it is original--It runs good--Need to go thru it and clean and oil and grease it up now... Anyone know anything about it-- model 128 i think--shuttle- EF179631 1949? Hope pic comes thru--it has not been cleaned yet... |

Pretty machine Carol!

Tough little machine - these are the ones being hand cranked and sent to our soldiers to repair their gear in the field. I bet yours is newer than mine. Is the serial number E something? Mine is AK so it's a 1952. Mine is Godzilla finish with blackside fittings. The story is the chrome was needed for the Korean conflict - who knows?

Nice looking machine.

Really nice...let us know how well it sews.

Beautiful machine! Enjoy it.

Beautiful, looks like it won't take much to clean it up. Lucky you.

128
I have a machine just like this one, I bought at a flea market for $35. I just used it to sew thick webbing handles on an intertube cover for my granddaughter. It went through 4 layers of webbing as if it were cotton, it never did hesitate, just kept on sewing. I would like to see the new sewing machines of today do that. You have a great sewing machine. I am glad that you found it.

I recently bought a 128 and am in the process of cleaning/oiling. When I get time to get it back together, I will post photos. I love these old Singers. Mine is a 1925 and doesn't have any attachments with it.
