Singer model #?
 

My girlfriend picked this up for me at a yard sale...just feeding the monster! lol
$20 and a bentwood case with the key! Score!
Just not sure what the model is...the base is only about 13" so I'm guessing a 99? It has the bullet bobbin case. I love the grape leaf design on the faceplate. It works, my BF had to try it, cracked wiring and all...it's like telling a child not to touch a hot stove!

If I can read the serial number correctly - it's listed as a 27K ... but it's a 3/4 machine which would make it a 28 or a 128 ... I lean toward 128 (based on location of the bobbin winder). The 27 was a full size machine (15").

Definitely not a 99 ... 99's are rotary bobbins.

It's possible that the model number on the ISMACS list is wrong (been known to happen), but I think the year of manufacture is correct, which is 1904.

Hello Judy,

It's a 128. The way to tell the difference between a 128 and a 28 is to see if there is a thumb tab below the tension discs. Only the 28 has the thumb tab.

So far as I can see on the photo, the serial number starts with JC, which gives the year 1948.

Ahah ... I was reading it as J0 (zero). I thought it looked far too good for a 1904!!

Don't you just LOVE the scroll face plate? It's in great shape. Congrats! Now you'll have to read up on how to clean and oil it. You can download a free manual here:

Definitely worth $20.
