Hello everybody.
I've found this very old industrial singer sewing machine in my beloved great-granddad's house and would really like to know which model it is. My great-granddad has spent his entire life in Salzburg, Austria, working as upholsterer and serving bravely in WW1.
I would be very grateful if you could help me solve this mystery.
Thanks and best regards,
Nadja

Beautiful sewing machine. Singer identification number here: http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/serial-numbers/singer-sewing-machine-serial-number-database.html
Still searching for a model number.
Hello freon,
Thank you very much for your comment. It's really though finding information about such an old machine.
1871 and I fear that is all there is. Puts it at the first year of Singers.
Looking for some information I found that it could be Singer model 7 series. Look like Singer 7-33 or 7-34. Look for more information in this series. I'm restoring one myself the Singer 81-5 from 1925. I will post my sew machine when is finish. Hope you get more information
Hello,
Thank you very much for your comments. I've been looking at Singer 7-33 as well as 7-34 and even though they have a lot in common there is one big difference which I have not yet noticed on any other sewing machine. I'm talking about the shape of the covering plate which can be seen in the second picture - all other models have a round covering plate except for this one. Identifying such an old heirloom is really tougher than I thought.
It is a model 7. The serial number with 7 digits dates to 1889. The 7 was built in many configurations for many different applications. http://needlebar.org/cm/displayimage.php?album=643&pid=3420#top_display_media
