You can do a 'search' of this site up at the top under the title. I tried that too and didn't come up with anything like your machine. You must be the only one on this site with that machine? It looks like a rare find to me. I'd buy it just because it is so cute and inexpensive!

I dont see the little wire on my machine Nancy. And the first loop that the thread goes through is not there either. It is just a piece of wire that looks like it is missing the hook part. But this machine may differ because it is a 9W-7.

If you go to the singer website you can look up when a machine was made form the serial numbers.
Hope that helps

In a way I am tempted to buy it but it will still not be the same machine. KWIM? Also it is a bit much to just buy it.

Hey Billy,
Would you mind reposting the picture of your National with the Lily decal? I've looked through almost every post and can't seem to find it. Maybe I am loosing my mind and someone else posted it. idk - but I would love it if we were able to create a "photo album section" for everyones machines.

So I am wondering, should I clean this machine up (per Billy's tut) before I try to do anything w/it? What causes the decals to "silver"? This machine is so pretty that I do not want to do any damage to it if possible.
Also, what is the best thing to use to clean the cast iron f
frame?
Thanks,
Jenna
