Actually there are several very nice looking machines on that website right now. A really nice red eye on the last page, and a Model 15 that Singer shows is a 28 from 1910 on page 3, I think. Really clean and nice. Also a Spartan (I bid $30 last time, but they had a reserve on it and it didn't sell).
And here is the 99 I got on auction with the Lotus decals. This is the pic from the website. I don't have it yet. This is the one I want to re-treadle.

Thanks a bunch. If I look up national I hope I can find her. I was told all her parts were there, but she is missing the front slide plate the bobbin and a shuttle.
I did not know there were other crazy people in this world like me and then I come upon this board
I have a few old and goodies also. And belong to two quilt groups , so am covered up with fabric.

Janice,
Are you sure this is a 99 and not a 66-1 with the back clamp.
I have only seen Singer 66-1 with the Lotus decals and back clamps, never seen a 99 that way. Here is the link to Singer:

Thank you guys so much for helping me figure out who Elmira is. I just hope there are some parts for her out there somewhere . This will help me find them.
