REALLY Early Singer on EBay (Model 3)
 

If I had seen this last week when I still had $$$...

Very cool looking. I was curious about this model and looked it up on ISMAC'S:

The serial number L1165125 dates it to 1901. Seems like a handy machine for the Amish.

Pretty cool. Did you see the Bradbury that someone listed? Get your wallet out for that one.

Very cool!! The New York State Fair has a Singer Number 1 in the Witter Agricultural Museum. I demo there every year on a treadle that I donated. The Fair starts Aug 22nd this year.

I'l like to see pictures of that!

Thanks for the link. Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.

I bought one of these a year ago. However it is in pieces and in dire need of lots & lots of TLC.
Hope to get to it in this lifetime. :D :D

That's interesting an interesting link, Jon. When I did family research I found out from the 1901 census that my grandmother worked as a harness stitcher when she was young. Now I can imagine the type of machine.

Wow, takes my breath away....and I'm not talking about the price :)

Both of those are awesome machines, especially the Bradbury.
