You can do a 'search' of this site up at the top under the title. I tried that too and didn't come up with anything like your machine. You must be the only one on this site with that machine? It looks like a rare find to me. I'd buy it just because it is so cute and inexpensive! Nancy |

It is just a piece of wire that looks like it is missing the hook part. But this machine may differ because it is a 9W-7. Billy Billy is the Variety 9 N 1 a Boye 18 needle? Nancy |

Billy AE000531 -- can you tell me the date of this machine? Nancy September 23 1935 If you go to the singer website you can look up when a machine was made form the serial numbers. Hope that helps |
I learned to sew on my mom's Pfaff in Europe. When we immigrated she left it behind because difference in electric. Low and behold I see one on CL that looks just like it.

Hey Billy,
Would you mind reposting the picture of your National with the Lily decal? I've looked through almost every post and can't seem to find it. Maybe I am loosing my mind and someone else posted it. idk - but I would love it if we were able to create a "photo album section" for everyones machines. Judy |
So I am wondering, should I clean this machine up (per Billy's tut) before I try to do anything w/it? What causes the decals to "silver"? This machine is so pretty that I do not want to do any damage to it if possible.
Also, what is the best thing to use to clean the cast iron f frame? Thanks, Jenna |
