Have you tried unsticking the pages with steam? Hold it above the kettle, and make sure you wear an oven glove. Then peel apart very slowly. If whatever is sticking the pages together is a water-based adhesive, this should work well.

Here are a few pics of the 1891 Singer in treadle that Quiltncowgirl and I got this weekend. She took the machine (roses & cornflowers decals) and I took the cabinet/irons for my 1909 66-1 Lotus decals machine. These are the pics the people sent me, so I'll have to take a pic of the whole front, since there isn't one here. The cabinet is Honduran mahogany, and was top of the line when new. It cost $70 new, as the original receipt was still in it.

It is original, im thinking an industrial, well built, solid wood, not laminant. The back extension moves on an iron rod that was frozen up, til DH & I worked it free & greased it up. I just love it.

I shall try that, thanks.!!!

Here is an old Mason (badged White) that is in need of TLC.

This one looks the same, but cabinet is different so I'm calling it a White. No name on the irons.

Singer Sphinx model 27. It is undergoing a Kroil bath. Says it needs a new home, lol. Now it is frozen up, but thre Kroil will take care of that problem.

I can't find the site where you find the dates and the models that are associated with a particular serial number.

I've been on the site several times, but can't find it now. :(

It has changed for some reasons and I can't find the new one that gives the info either. :shock:

I had the same problem this morning! But I typed in 'serial number' in the search box and it directed to a search that led me to the right page. I'm not sure why they changed it, but I saved links to the right pages in my user pages so I could find them again.
