The pitman appears to be missing, so can't tell if it was wood or iron. Perhaps it is not a 127? That could explain why it is older, if the serial # is correct. I have a machine that I think is a VS2 from 1894, looks a lot like a 127. Also I know the sphinx was around by 1901. The 127's had their bobbin winders set high on the arm where the 27's had them low on the pillar. Billy |
What is the boss? {in front of the pillar}

Thank you for the info. I checked my machine and mine is Iron.
Do I need to oil the iron, how do I care for it? Kathie |

Do I need to oil the iron, how do I care for it? Kathie I oil/grease (with sewing machine grease) the moving parts of the treadle and clean it with Liquid Gold. The Liguid Gold really shines up the irons on the treadle and it is good for the pitman if you have the wood pitman. Nancy |

The bottom row doesn't show, but it has penguins swimming under water. There was a topic about posting a larger picture of our avitar quilts. Mine is posted on there.
P.S. i posted the link for Singer thru the ages just above your post asking about my avitar Nancy |
