Oh well. lesson learned on my part. Thanks

It's really funny. Had given to me another newer singer that has a funky electric cord...both foot pedal and electric cord hitch together on machine. I haven't been able to find a part for that one.. I so like the old machines better :) .

The next batch will be a blistering bright Lime Green 27

Opened up the model 27 and I don't have any idea what the decals are called. They are still on but there are very few of them. Not ornate at all like some you see. I did notice the pitman is wood and the irons are in good shape. Everything just needs a good cleaning and oiled. My pics aren't very good but I'll post anyway.

I am amazed at my sweetheart.......we were relaxing on the couch and I mentioned I have always wanted tofind an od treadle machine to replace the one my mom had given me, but was stolen.
Not 5 minutes after firing up the computer, this is what he found. It was in my living room within 48 hours......

Okay, I figured out how to post pics, but since I am a newbie at this, does anyone have any information? Obviously it is a Damascus. It does nothave the belt needed to make the machine work, but my goal is tohave itinthe room, place some quilts draped on the table, and soak in all the good memories I have of my mom and my first memories of her Singer machine. Thanks for looking and I will snap more pics.....
