Yes, the serial number tells you all about your machine from the Singer site. Nancy |

The top you are referring to is a Coffin Top. Lots of treadles had the coffin top. They are very pretty. Maybe, one of these days you can post a picture. Nancy |

She will need a new belt before any real sewing is done, but the whole machine sounds very quiet and strong. All my Elna attachments will fit. The feed dogs drop, so she can help the 301 with quilting. The harp is a little bigger than the 301.
Wow, I love the cabinet and the Necchi! What a good buy too! Nancy Here is my $27 Necchi BF, number 600630. |

Could someone please help me identify this Singer machine?
I was thinking about getting Great-Grandmother's treadle out and back into use. I called my mom, who has had the machine stored for over 30 years, to drag it out and send me a picture. I've not personally laid eyes on it in over 30 years! I'm thinking it's a 15-30? Hopefully it's a bobbin machine, not a shuttle. Thanks! Great-Grandmother's Sewing Machine... well-loved!

I am new to quilting and haven't sewn a stitch since Home-Economics class in high school in 1990. I love antiques and I love that these old machines are still doing what they were made to do. How often do you find something that is a40, 60, 80, or even a100 years old and is still in use and has all of its accessories! I didn't own a machine until this last weekend; Billy has started me down the right road to get them oiled up and greased up.
The singer 99 is a 1926 model and is in beautiful shape. I bought it sight unseen. The dome case was locked and no key. I discovered when I got it home and opened that the knee bar was missing. I went back to the sale the next morning to see if it was there as I had no idea it had one. I ask the ladies running the estate sale about it and they said that the couple that had just bought the White treadel had seen the bar and said it didn't belong but they told them to take it anyway. They were just loading it up when I got there and I ran out and asked about it. They got it out of the front of their car and gladly gave it to me. The 301 is AWESOME! I should have cleaned it up before I took the pictures. It came with the owners manual and a button holer but none of the other feet or accessories so I am on the hunt for them. The Phoenix Sewing AG Baer & Rempel is a treadel machine that at some point was converted to electric with a Singer motor. I believe it is a 28Z model. The cabinet is in pretty good shape and I gave it a pretty good scrub today. I didn't do anything to the machine itself yet so it looks dirty in the pictures. It to has the owners manual and also the box of accessories and the original tool wrench. I will convert it back to a treadel as the only thing that I need is a belt. Does anyone know anything about the Phoenix? There is not a lot of information that I can find yet; however, the search is on now! Here are my purchases, not a bad $50 spent I think! I have a 99-13 from 1928 and a 301. I have been sewing on the 301, but not the 99 yet...I am thinking of turning it into a hand crank for camping trips. I also have an Elna Supermatic and a Western Electric 1917 electric portable that runs, but needs new wires. Welcome here....this is a fun place to hang out. You will learn so much...I have, and it encouraged me to go find some vintage machines, and I just LOVE them!! |

I just posted a pic of a gorgeous sphinx at this link.
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-115711-1.htm Can't believe she looks so bright after 100+1 years. I am soooo thankful so many people took such good care of their machines. |
Wow, that sure is beautiful and shiny. Mine's not in that kind of condition, but it looks good after 105 years!
