Never hurts to have a reminder of all you can find on the Singer site. www.mysingerstory.com Has many good photos & stories. All the great pics & stories I've seen here would probably be appreciated on this site.

I'd agree on the Durkopp And the first is an Early Irons Singer 12

Since my sewing machine show is called "The Victorian Sweatshop" I have collected quite a few of these.
