I'm so tempted, tho. I think it will bid through the roof, before it's over. About the only place you see those real old ones in mint condition is the UK! Families kept them in their parlors for 100 years, and kept them nice.

OK - I've been to all the normal links to date a Singer, but can't find this number. NL-K 8014382. It was made in Taiwan, ROC, probably in the 1970's. Any one have a clue? Thanks
Okay fell off the wagon this weekend. Garage sale ad on CL said they had 3 treadles. Well they did, a WW9, White Rotary and Minnesota C. Well I got the Minnesota C since I don't have one of those. The white cabinet was very nice. The WW9 cabinet was fair but not much decals left on the machine.
Minnesota C serial #D1503643. Some of the decals are silvered but should clean up decent. The cabinet has some issues. Irons, missing one wheel, pedal has been repaired and pitman has a split but good tape job holding it firmly. Think I will have to get into the fly wheel bearing has it is really rough in about 10 degrees of rotation.

That is why I bought it, I thought it would be cool to have a machine that says "made in occupied Japan." It is black, not one of the brighter colors. I will post pictures when she arrives! I hope, I don't regret this -- having a machine shipped is very scary for me!

Your little machine has to be pre 1900 with a wood pitman - you said it was taped up - so it must be wood. The machine head looks great, it should really shine up too. Congratulations!
