Sandi that is so good to hear!!! The needle might be a curved needle so you need to save it and use it for a model to find more. Do not be surprised that you have to spend upwards to $20 a needle for your machine.

If I were you I would go ahead and join the NeedleBar so you can show it off and find out more about it. They will love you and Alan (the Administrator) has a passion for the the early machines and can probably tell you anything you want to know about it.

Here is the link to the site:

It will take a couple of days but be sure to post about it in the "Early Machines" section of the forum!!!

Sandi, this is just about the coolest machine I have ever seen!!! How neat would it be if it really was from Civil War times??

I did save the needle and it is curved. I thought it was just bent because of being jammed. Wow. I am so amazed by this little beauty. Gotta share that paying $20.00 for one needle would be double what I paid for the machine. The young boys who sold it to us didn't know what they had.

And I already belong to Needlebar, but thanks for the heads up of where to post her. I joined a while back but have mostly been a looker there and not much else.

I really appreciate the care and attention you give to all of us who post our findings and ask what is it?

Blessings,
Sandi

Thanks. It would be really cool if it were Civil War era. Gotta do some checking and see when shuttle bobbins started appearing on machines. There is so much to learn and we acquired four machines this weekend. Still need to check out the other three.

Blessings,

I have a Singer that belonged to my mother. Dad bought it for her in 1954 or 1955. I has a wooden mail-box shaped case and has a rough Godzilla finish. The serial # AJ86154O. Any information?

You have a Model 128 and there were 10000 allotted on October 4 1950! Is it an electric or is it a handcrank? Also are the plated parts black instead of nickel finish?

I have one that Jan sent to me all the way from New York and I just love the machine!! After a good cleaning it works like a charm.

Billy, My machine is electric, but needs some work. It is all black, no nickel plating and no fancy decals.
