Granmother23, That 404 is a good looking machine.

Your Spartan, a 3/4 size machine, is the same as a Singer 99, just a cheaper version of the 99 originally, but now worth more because they are rarer than the 99.
The Singer is a 99, which is a 3/4 size machine.
The 404 is sometimes called the Rocketeer, a very nice machine.
Your Wizard looks to be a class 15 machine, but I never heard of the Wizard! Wow!
Those are some really neat machines, congratulations!
