Old(ish) Singer ID
Hi everyone… new here! Whilst holidaying in France I have just picked up in second hand shop a Singer serial No R635137, hand operated. After a bit of research I came up with a manufacturing date of 1902 but couldn’t identify the model type. Is the serial No enough to identify model type? It does seem to be in working order but is a little stiff. Also looking for a user manual

Welcome to Quilting Board. More than likely it is a 28K according to https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mac...l-numbers.html There have been some errors in the serial number database, but most are correct
To help identify which Singer model you have there is this site https://www.sandman-collectibles.com...r-machines.htm

We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button.
I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.
