my message to them...

Ok, so here is the TRUTH about this machine.....

The serial number you show is G7459167 (i.e. G - 7,459,167)

if you look HERE (or contact Singer directly)
http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...l-numbers.html

G-7,453,126 through G-7,473,125 Were Model 128's ordered produced as a batch of 20,000 with the order to build placed on October 14 , 1919

PLEASE correct your listing so that is not FRAUDULENT

I wish there was a better way to report fraudulent listings on CL. That ijit selling the repro as an antique just keeps on relisting it every time we flag it.

SteveH

Cool! They never replied to me, but they changed the listing to 1919!

Cari-in-Oly

Notice they also changed the "all original" statement. Gee, I wonder why.

It's easy to misread a serial#. I do it all the time. The fact that they changed the listing tells me they're at least trying to be honest.

O-o-o isn't this nice? No room nor money. Bet it will go cheap though.

And six wooden ironing boards, and a toy sewing machine! No, I am not going as I have blown through my budget with the Row by Row Experience quilt shops.

Cari-in-Oly

Not too bad. That's a Martha Washington cabinet, they also made a matching one just for sewing supplies.
