Lisa I am coming out there and I am staying with you for a few months just so I can get your luck to rubb off on me!! You did really awesome and I am so happy for you, I cant hardly contain myself!
You are truly the woman of my dreams!

Was it really bad to wait for the $10 change from the $40 I gave him?
Now to decide which FW to keep. They are in really remarkable condition. I few scratches, need new rubber feet. There is a repair ticket for the 1937 one. Mrs. M. Carter had a service call on 7/1/53. The total bill was $3.96 to clean and check the motor. Those were the days. There are directions to her house so I think they picked up the machine and delivered it back on 7/10/53.

I cannot believe my luck. The White Rotary was pictured in CL ad for $10 at garage sale on Saturday but would sell early. It mentioned that other sewing machines were available. When I called he didn't know what the other machines were but they were more modern Singers then the White. So I was thinking maybe a Touch and Sew or some other not so desirable machines. Well scroll down and see what I got!!

Lisa, you only paid $10 each for the FWs???????????? Unbelievable. No, I can't believe that. I need to leave CL alone and start going to yard sales, etc.
OMG!!!!!

I might would have felt guilty for maybe a second or two but I could not get my wallet out fast enough for those three machines. You did very well on all of them I am still amazed at $10 each for all three.......... :shock:

I hope you don't mind that I dropped in, since the machine I got today isn't a Singer (as far as I know).
I did get a patent number on it - - Montgomery Ward Model R (or it could be A) ... patent number 2.007.794
I couldn't get the machine to lift up out of its box (the cover is missing) and, it is going to take me a while to figure out how to get to the bobbin.
The other interesting (I thought) feature of this straight stitch machine is a nickel plate (I assume it is nickel, since it hasn't tarnished) about five inches long that runs under the foot the entire width of the bed of the machine - - other than that, the entire machine is a boring black cast iron body. It is printed with information about needle sizes.
I just popped in to start receiving postings from this thread.
However, if you have any pointers for me, I surely would appreciate it. <wave>

Omak, we don't care if they're Singers or not!! Most of havea variety! :) That plate is most likely a cover for a vibrating shuttle...aka "long bobbin"...
Do you have a photo for us? :)

Welcome, Omak. This site/thread is more than Singers. It for all Vintage machines. I have several different brand names of machines. Can't help with your machine as I don't have one but others wil be able to help you. ~ Chris
