My Old Lady
#1
I thought with everyone posting photos of their trusty older machines, I would do so likewise. She is a 1950 Singer 128-23 whatever that means. She runs like a dream, but is NO FEATHERWEIGHT!!! She has a vibrating shuttle bobbin case with long, skinny bobbins. I am still learning to wind one correctly. She belonged to the great grandmother of my daughter-in-law. DIL doesn't sew. I probably should take her to have her checked out and see about getting new wiring that is safe.

I don't have the case key, but there are several (actually lots) for sale on Ebay. I have a Singer fix-it guy around the corner from me. I'll be taking her to him and will ask about more bobbins and a key.
