Just this a.m. I purchased a Singer machine and oak cabinet. I don't know where to begin to look for info. on it such as a manual, parts, how to clean it, etc. The model # is B1043107 and the needle plate has 8 patented dates on it the last one being April 7, 1896. I believe it is a Phoenix on the body of the sewer. I would appreciate any help I can get. I am so proud of it, needs a few parts and to be cleaned. The best part is I paid $50 for it. Did I get a good deal? Help me please!!!!!

You might want to go to www.singerco.com. I have an old Singer Treadle machine and I found out thru this site when it was made, etc. It has a lot of information and you probably could fine parts info, too. I was even able to print out a manual for my machine and it was made in the early 1900's.

Go check out Jenny's blog here:

She has a wealth of information, IS a wealth of information, and restores classic machines as a business. I bought a beautifully restored Singer 201-2 from her last year.

It appears to be a model 15, dated April 4, 1905. Here's the link to the singer site with the "B" serial numbers.
