and it was in what appeared to be a somewhat home made parlor-style treadle cabinet. I acquired the machine at an Antique Store in Merced, CA on July 27, 2003. The rim of the machine's hand wheel is wider than normal and it is flat (rather than rounded) on it's plated surface. The decorations on the machine appear to have been applied by an artist's hand in gold leaf. That name is in all capital letters and the letters are spaced far enough apart to have a 'dot centered between each letter. My Model 27 SINGER machine is a "Sphinx" that has some very different decorations on it, Including the 'SINGER name on the machine's arm. On Singer's official website, the original, NLA dating chart noted alongside the line listing Singer Machines with the 'S' serial number prefix for serial numbers: "NOTE: 100 of these 'S' machines were made in Podolsk, Russia." S-190355-250354 Model 27K 60000 machines Production Dates: JAN.- JUNE 1906, I plan to use mine for teaching the kids on and for putting on display in my new sewing studio (more on that in the very near future).I have a 1906 SINGER Model 27 machine (Serial Number: S2145960. After 1900, the machine serial numbers have a single or two-letter prefix. Serial numbers on SINGER ® sewing machines manufactured prior to 1900 are numbers only. They’ve not located the log books for 1851 to 1870 as yet, so the serial numbers for those years aren’t available. The manufacture dating on their web site is reproduced from the original company register number log books. The serial number of mine is located on the front right-hand corner:ĭid you know that SINGER ® sewing machines were first manufactured in 1851. It works beautifully and I’ve checked up on the Singer® website to find out it’s a 1927 model (although the instruction booklet has 1928 on it?) If you’ve got one that you’d like to check it’s age, go to and click on the link relevant to yours – no letter pre-fix, single letter pre-fix or double letter pre-fix. The kids were fascinated by it and I’ve promised to teach them on it. There’s even a pack of old, unused needles.
It’s in fantastic condition, with its gorgeous wooden cover, original instruction booklet and metal bobbins. I think they’re so popular now, everyone’s snapping them up! I was delighted to win it for £25! I know there’s a lot of them around and they don’t go for much but I’d been having a hard time trying to get my hands on one.
I had to leave the auction early, before the lot came up, so I left a hopeful bid of £30. I was so pleased to find it hadn’t been converted to electric, as I’d been looking for one like this for a while now. I spotted a lovely old Singer® sewing machine, at a local auction house last week.
