You could try using a heavy wire and bend it so it catches the the metal tab that unlocks it. Back when these cases were made they were easy to brake into. I had to unlock my Grandma's sewing machine for her many years ago.

I get one of the same at an auction and got it cheap because they could not open it. When we go home my husband took a small screw driver and was able to turn the mechanizim inside the lock to open it with damaging the machine or the lock. Never have had a key. Good Luck.

She was manufactured in 1935. She is a Model 128 with the LaVincendora Decal. Now I'd like to find out where she was manufactured! Would be lovely to make another connection of how trade was conducted in this island country in the 1930's. Newfoundland was an independent country until 1949 so that kind of thing fascinates me!
hmmmm.... how do I find this out?

Every time I see those wooden cases I think of my mother. She had a Singer in one of those. I have no idea whatever became of it. My father remarried after she died and I don't recall ever seeing it again. Someone on this board probably has it! LOL

Mamagus, what a GREAT score! She's a beautiful machine...looks like a 28 or a 128... and the serial number will tell where she was made...when you look at the shuttle, does it have a metal button to push to pop the shuttle up?
What is the serial?

I saw that St. John's was mentioned somewhere... but I though that there must be another one somewhere!
