Singer Serial Number
I was looking at a Singer Sewing machine at an estate sale today and I looked at the serial number which was as best I could see, was JC8059080. In the Singer Database there are no serial numbers listed that start with JC. The machine has a bullet bobbin and the bobbin winder is at the top of the machine. It is in a domed wooden case which is in very nice condition. They are asking $85 for this machine. Does anyone know about Singer Serial Numbers that start with JC. They also have a babylock machine with several large spools of thread for $65 but since I basically do only quilting I don't believe I have any use for the babylock machine.

Have you got a pic of the machine? I'm thinking some times the domed cases go for about that much anyway. Get a good idea if the machine is all there. Look for pics and look at Muv's info.

I just picked up a Singer 15-90 today ser # JC227438. very bad shape. thought I was going to see a feather weight. this is so rusted that the needle bar doesn't move. It might make a good doorstop! Motor is missing.

Also a bullet shuttle of that vintage and with the bobbin winder up top is a 128 or a 127, depending on the size of it. 128 - 3/4 size, 127 - full size.
The bobbin winder moved right around 1913.
If it's a knee lever machine, make sure the knee lever is there, it may be locked into position in the top of the dome.
