Cannot find a serial number on it or a model number so what is it?
www.sewclassic.blog has info and she has bobbins and accessories. Nice cabinet! She also has a link to a free manual. serial number might be under the lip by the bobbin on the very end I do not understand why they aren't right up there in value with the 301. |

I was so bummed yesterday when I got outbid on the ones he had posted on ebay...but I did run the bid up as high as I dared! |

It has the singer sewing company on the top with "manufactured in Great Britian" below it. The singer site says the F series was manufactured in Clydebank, Scotland in 1913 so don't know which is right. It is the lotus blossom and some of the blossoms on the back were completely covered in grime. spent hours uncovering them but they are all there...what should I call her, "ressurrection"....will really enjoy her, belt is next and she will be up and running.

I love mine too, and have been so wanting to "complete" it...just wish I wasn't so scared to use it for fear of taking off more of the decals than are already gone...they're in pretty good shape as they are...I wanna keep them that way! (It DOES sew nicely tho!) |

That's one of the reasons I prefer my well-used machines to the "prettier" ones!
