      I had an 1930s singer sewing machine that looked similar to that design. Yours is in better shape than mine was.

      Singers do look just like it,but I asked a collector and she said she wasn't aware of any singer machines made without there name on it. Also singer cases tend to be domed and marked singer.this hasn't any .please help me !
      Also mine is not full size .

      Bernadette ,do you know how old it is ? Are they common or rare ? Or possible value ?
    8. Cloverfield, 9 years ago
      Thank you Bernadette, this information is great ,I have now done my own research and I think the serial number 313343 dates to around 1920-1924 .
      I now have a Name and date . I don't think its valuable ,but it is to me . I love it .
