  2. Pretty decals .
  3. kygurl32 : I forgot to tell you even though the cabinet your machine came in is stamped 1968 , I believe the machine itself was made in the 1930's . Someone could have put it into the newer cabinet fo...
  4. Great find ! These machines are known as a clone of a class 15 machine . I have my grandmother's . They are great little machines and every bit as well made as the Singers or Janomes plus they have d...
  5. It is from a buggy or a sleigh . A seat this fancy would not have been inside of a car .

  7. Jennie : Nice machine . I have one just like it . Even though it may have been bought it Germany , your machine was made in Elizabeth New Jersey , USA . According to the Singer chart your machine was...

  12. moh85 : There should still be some pull on the top string . It should not just pull through without any resistance at all . I would try and dry up some of the oil you put on the disk by running some ...
  13. moh85 : If the thread ( string ) is looping on the underside of the fabric you are sewing on that means that the top tension of your machine is too loose . If it is looping on the top side of the fabr...
  14. davyd286 : I not only had the one that belonged to my great grandmother ( I gave mine to my daughter . ) I have also seen many of them in anitque shops in our area . They also came in gold color . I...
  15. These jewelry boxes are from the 1920's or earlier . I had one that once belonged to my great grandmother . She was born in 1876 . So these have been around for a lot longer than the 1980's !!!
  16. moh85 : I have seen shuttle bobbins like yours on a website called Treadle On . You have to join the group but it is free . People there only use treadle or hand crank machines like yours . Someone th...
  17. Marko : That looks like a very nice machine . I can not tell you much about this machine . However make sure that your needle is in the machine correctly with the flat side at the top of the needle ...
  18. Never mind , I see that the pictures are from Fort George Wright , Washington , 1920 . Lol !!! But the first horse still looks like my beloved Sweet Regardless .

  20. A lunch box ?
  21. I use to have one of these only in green . I used it in the winter to cook on and I loved it . Good wood stove . But that is about all I can tell you about it .

  26. Thank you .
  27. trunkman : Thanks can you give me a website where I can look for replacement parts ? I also would have no idea of how to go about restoring it . My grandfather's last name is Boone and he is related ...
  28. trunkman : I have a trunk like this one with a patent date of 1879 that once belonged to my grandfather . Mine is not in very good shape . The canvas has been mostly removed , the leather handles are ...
  29. It looks like it used to be a rocking horse and is now off it's rockers . Ha !!!!
  30. Your machine is much older than 1930's . According to the Singer web site your machine was made in 1909 . Yours is missing the tension assembly . But there are places to get the tension assemblies for...
  31. My dad used these in the 1950's and 60's . He got new ones just about every year . He worked in industrial plants . I may still have a pair of them here somewhere .
  32. Wow , I would love to get my hands on something like that . I take old broken jewlrey and make new jewlrey out of it . I make necklaces out of orphan earrings or broken pins etc. I also make earrings ...
  33. How neat ! I have never seen one like this . Maybe the first Lazy Boy ?
  34. They are neat and they may indeed be called Saddle Chimes , but they would not be strapped to the horse's neck just behind the collar . They go a little further back and rest on the horse's withers an...
  35. It is also missing the spool pin .
  36. It looks like a copy of a class 66 Singer machine to me , but that is all I can say about it .
  37. epson233 : Where do you get your decals ? I have redone a few of my own machines in the past and some day would like to do a few more .
  38. By the way it was made with the bend in the end so that you could tighten the skate clamps onto your shoes .
  39. Yep , that is what it is . I have used many of them when I was a kid .
  40. sign5 : That is alright . I was really just sort of kidding around . I love horses and when I was a kid I was always drawing and painting them . I still have some of my pictures here somewhere . My J...
  41. MarobeQueen : Oh those are mine . I wondered where they got off too . No , just kidding . I used to draw horses all of the time when I was a kid , but I was never this good . Nice find . I can not mak...
  42. Tawnypelt : I just noticed something else about the decal on the bed of your machine . Besides the large M there is also a C and an O so I would say that it does stand for Domestic Sewing Machine Comp...
  43. Tawnypelt :Because of the shape of the base it IS a fiddle base which makes it an early model machine . Are there any numbers on the underside of the front edge or the underside of the machine itself ...
  44. Do you know what part of the county this J.A. Davis was from ? I have a J.A. Davis in my family line . My father , brother , my daughter , grandson's and I never had any art training yet we can all dr...
  45. JayHow : Yes I do love my lamps as well and I wish I could post photos of all of my collectables here . However I do not have the means to do so . I do not have the equipment .
