Could it be a salesman's demo type model?

For those who don't chase links and so it stays around after the auction end:

I'm guessing one of the many commercial machines Singer made.
Interesting machine.

Looks like a bizarre amalgam of several different machines. Looks like a featherweight motor, shuttle, high bobbin winder and that plate is pretty unusual too.

This is a Singer 128-8. Made between 'teens and 1940.

Ahhhh, that was the help I needed. I was wondering about the inspection plates, since my 128 doesn't have that style. And it has the Harris plate. Very cool.
Thank you.

I know some kids and one adult that would love to open that up and watch it move.

This is a machine made by Standard after Osann got them, and Singer then got Osann and put there name on the machines. I'm not decided if I want the Singer version or an earlier named model
