    in Newfoundland...i remember them comming to visit when i was ten and telling us Newfoundland was now part of Canada.
    This great uncle only had one arm because he lost the other "making a turn signal" while driving and he told me to be very careful when i learned to drive, believe me i never forgot that...family name is Evans, which is very common in Canada and Great Britain....sorry really off topic

    I have one the same I will check out which way to turn it, I was also given a key just the other day, if it fits mine I can send it to you if you want it. Let me check it out first OK.

    BTW if your DH damages that case I will RUN across the pond and beat him to death with a feather duster :twisted:

    This is my one:

    A Singer 201K sews the most wonderful straight stitch and one of Singer's best machines.
    Make sure the feather duster is full of dust first - and get right in his face!!!! :)

    I have one just like that and no key. My DH opened it with a flat head screwdriver.

    hmmmm.... how do I find this out?
    And she is beautiful. Not too often are the decals in that good of shape or that bright. You have a real treasure there.

    My eyes popped when I saw that beautiful machine. For those who enjoy Singer history of how their sewing machine came to be, you might enjoy a summer trip to the Thousand Islands on the St. Lawrence River and tour the Singer mansion on one of the islands. Many vintage machines are placed throughout the mansion.
