one more time. How do I get the date of my 222-1 singer sewing machine, it is from my mother in law, she had it maybe 60 yrs. old. Used it maybe 2 yrs. at most,
she can't sew bought it for a neighbor to make mil clothes.
Now it is mine. Would love to know dated made.
Enjoy the wonderful day thanks!

Find the serial number on the underside of the machine? :) If you post it someone will date it for you...if you'd like to date it yourself, you can go here:

I can't find anything about it! Hmmmmm.....

My first inclination tho, is that it's AG Mason, by virtue of the "NEW" in the name... don't repeat that tho, no sense in both of us looking the fool if I'm wrong!! :lol:

Miiiiiiiriammmmmmmmmm!!!?? Where ARE you? Got that case open yet???

~tap...tap...tap~

It was a very pretty little Vesta hand crank machine, nice decals, nice case. Knew that one would go fast!

Glenn, I think we are all 'eating our hearts out!' What a great job you did - I love your machine, cabinet - the whole package! Enjoy her!

Glenn, I don't spend a lot of time in the shop so did I miss the Model of this machine? It looks like a 127, but I have not seen those decals. I thought at first the decals were the 'Rose and Cornflower' because of the green - but, it is not that decal? Do you know what the decals are called?

Charlee can you go to the site we can't mention to see if they have that decal listed?

:) I already did...I went lookin' as soon as I saw the first pics of her! Those decals are the Orange Blossom/Dogwood Painted decals used on the Model 27 rectangular bed, and on the VS3, Model 28 1891 version, and were only used from 1890 to 1894.

I think I confused Nancy by stating to Glenn, enjoy his Singer VS2. My mistake since it isn't a VS2.

Thank you Charlee! Orange Blossom/Dogwood! Wow, so that machine has to be either a 27 or 28 since the bobbin winder is low. I can't tell by the picture - nothing to compare it to - whether it is the full sized like the 27 or the 3/4 sized 28? Glenn?

The 99 comes in the bentwood case, but I'm not sure what other ones do, or did you know that already? Maybe the 66?
I googled singers in bentwood cases and these popped up. Does this help?

Was looking at the bent wood cases on this link and happened on this. Wonder how you gonna attatch this tube turner to sewing machine. Can get this from store for less than $5. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hook-Singer-...item56468ab65c

somebody must be trying to exploit us.

Somebody thinks we're all suckers. :roll:

Oh, I LOVE that table!! But :cry: I don't have another inch of space in my sewing room. No, not even 1/2 inch!!! :cry:

Did you notice that the seller thinks a FW can be used with that table with just a bit of tweaking? :roll:

Sharon, I noticed what the ad said! I guess those sellers just think we are all pretty gullible!
