I know Suzi....he's running on memory tho, don't think he's seen the machine in years. I can't think of a green Singer or any other machine that has red and gold decals....
As soon as he sends me pics, I'll be sure to share them...whatever I end up paying him for it, along with the trip to Sacramento to pick it up, will make this my most expensive machine! :lol:

I love my 319, but you really do need the manual to make sense of the controls. Makes a great stitch!

My daughter called and said that she found an unusual looking treadle sewing machine. She said that it was black and had a funny hook up for the belt. She gave me the serial number which is EF 546519. I looked it up and it said that it was a 221 k. Made Aug,17,1949. If I looked at the numbers correctly. If I remember rightly 221k is a Feather weight. Did they come as a treadle? The thrift store wants $80 for it with cabinet. Kathie

Now...he told me once that it was a Singer, and referred to as the "Cadillac of Singers" Does this sound like a Redeye to you?

I want it bad, but not for that price, now especially.

Note with attachments gives info that this machine was bought in 1949 from the Fresno State College Home Ec Dept as a treadle.
I'll post better pictures after I clean her up.
