This is the lady you need to contact for a key. http://www.helenhowes-sewingmachines.co.uk/locks.html In the meantime, use a small flat screwdriver.
Also, if you get in touch with Helen, splash out an extra £1.50 and get yourself a hold-down. It looks as though yours is missing.
Now I need to stop gazing at your gorgeous machine and go to bed.... Good night!

I have one of these, too, but need a little slave to stand there and turn the crank.....and as I have no curious little grands around....sigh.
Mine has been locked closed for years, not even sure how it happened as I *have* had it open.

I have three of those , they are called dometops, I do not have but one key, before I got the one with the key a small screwdriver inserted into the hole and turned just like a key and it will open, the key thingy is just a turn lock very easy to open, I have had one of those machines for many years, back in polyster days, it did not go backwards and has the long shuttle bobbin, I made a lot of clothes on it , western shirts, like the little eveready bunny it never quits,

Perhaps they are not there all the time. We went as part of a special tour for a conference. I have found that sometimes "extras" are included to impress the group being entertained. I hesitate to have one go to the expense of travel only to find that one little ol' machine on display again for the public viewing. Better wait until someone who went recently responds.

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.
