I recently got a treadle sewing machine that didn't have a key. It came with a small screwdriver that I took and put into the key slot and very gently turned it. It will unlock or lock the drawers. Maybe you could try this with a small screwdriver. It seems that those old locks could be picked pretty easily. :lol: :XD: :lol:

Thanks, Patti. I'll do that. I took the picture so far...
Therese - You can go to the Singer Sewing Machine site and check your serial number. They have a great list, it shows the year, the model and where it was made. Just Google "Singer Sewing Machine Serial Number" and the site will pop up first.

It looks like it's a 1948 model.
