thanks, Steve H, for telling me to use soft cloth and machine oil.....I have been afraid to run it with much of anything as I don't want to hurt any decals that are still there, on any of mine.......

Let's see if I can add a picture. [ATTACH=CONFIG]510411[/ATTACH] This is Ma Tante La'tite (roughly translates to Aunt Tiny in English). She's a 1916 Singer 66-1. The woman who owned this had her converted so she can take side clamp feet and has a numbered tension dial. Her niece inherited the machine in the late 80's and had only used her as a display. Fortunately I know her niece and purchased it when she was downsizing to a smaller home.

That Singer 66 looks like one well loved machine - it should be one of the best to use.
BTW the Singer 600 (T&S) are good machines when the bobbin winder works. |
that 66 is beautiful...........wow, you were a lucky gal to get her..................I want one..............

Hi, just thought I would share my most recent charity shop purchase (£25). She is a 1934 66k. She needs a good clean and de-fluf but should be ideal for my 13yr old daughter in her new bedroom.

That 66 and cabinet are worthy of a brand new stitching story! May she enjoy all the joys of the past and the present.

I decided when I got hooked on vintage machines to buy a 201, treadle and a hand cranked. Well, I have reached my collection goal, for now...maybe one more, a Singer 27.
My two beauties purchase 21 Feb. 2015. Meet Ms Cypress Viscount, a hand cranked from Salsbury Wilshire, England born 1940. [ATTACH=CONFIG]511259[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]511260[/ATTACH] And, Ms Sara Singer Redeye from Elizabeth, New Jersey born June 2, 1910. [ATTACH=CONFIG]511264[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]511265[/ATTACH] Am in LOVE....however packing to move so have to wait to clean and play:( |
Gorgeous Viscount! i've never seen one in such lovely condition.
