I didn't know Singer made machines in Russia.

i didn't either. nice machine though. is that newspaper covering it up. nice top. thanks for sharing

Possibly, but I wouldn't believe it until I could see the machine, examine the machine, and check the serial number with someone who really is reliable. Those pics and his text show nothing to verify his claims.

JMHO

Singers were made in Podolsk, Russia from 1905 until the revolution in 1917. Before the factory in Podolsk was opened, the machines were made in Germany and imported into Russia. The serial numbers began with A, E, and T, and 100 with S. I am not sure the detailed records survived the revolution. Have heard that Singer reopened the plant in 1994. So the date of 1915 would be consistent with manufacture in Russia.

Well, this is a new one on me! I really do learn something new every day on here!

What is the paper hiding?

the paper has the knee bar wrapped in it no foot peddle

I think it's suspicious..sounds fishy.
