    Cathy, I could find the date of 1941 but I don't know where to find what model a machine is. Can you give me the website, please. Thanks,

    The bobbin has a flip down cover the case and bobbin ride in. Whole area is full of lint.
    There is a lever on the back to push as the lever for the disks is pushed to select design stitches
    There is no manual but I found a sales brochure in wonderful condition.
    oh, super cute! love the green machines! laura

    To you think industrial machines will sell for Christmas? I bet those would be heavy to ship. Where do you buy the cork for the oil bath? I seem to find industrial sewing machines all the time, too. They aren't really any different to work on - just a ton heavy...

    I find this page is helpful determining and identifying Singer models of machines. I hope it helps. http://www.sandman-collectibles.com/...r-machines.htm
