I'm feel so lucky owning this beautiful Singer sewing machine....
A friend was giving it away after his mother died recently.
I was more than happy to give it a good home....
It is such a beauty!
The cabinet needs some loving.....a good stain and polish!
(A job for the up-coming holidays, I suspect!)
But I love its black shiny body
its sleek lines and wonderful colourful embellishments!
And this number? I'm not sure what that's about ....
And the instruction books are in pristine condition...
I don't know whether I will try quilting on it though....
I think I will just admire it and love it...
For a few more years at least.
I'm linking back to Melody's Tuesday Treasures, so pop over and see what else is
being 'treasured' this week....
Happy Sewing!

Hi Suz, that number on the machine is your serial number. Using that number and the information provided by Singer, on page 8 here: http://www.singerco.com/pdf/SINGER_Y_nos.pdf then you will see that your new baby is a Singer, Model 66K and was manufactured on 28 January 1929 at the factory called Kilbowie in Clydebank, Scotland, and that there were 100 000 of that model made.

Oh I dream about owning one! and every time I see one it is never the right time to buy it, but one day I will! cheers Judy :)
and wow all that info from wendz how exciting
p.s. where did you get that fantastic material with the Eiffel tower on it?
That's a real Treasure Suz - love it! Tracee xx
I just love the shape of those old machines. My mum had one that I learnt on - the treadle and the belt drive. I think I love my modern machine more:D
What a beauty... I just love all the finishing off on the old machines..... have you given it a workout?

What a beautiful machine! These machines are works of art with all the detailing. Amazing!!!
Wow that is fantastic. Lucky you!
What a beautiful machine you are so blessed to have received it - in fact I have one just like it and would you believe have forgotten about it. It is always closed up and trying to remain protected. It was a gift from my ex-husband, one of the very few things he ever gave me.
I just love the Egyptian decals on them and I had to have mine after a trip to Egypt.
What great information from Wendz too.
Enjoy your beautiful machine and thanks for the reminder :-)
WOW Suz you are very lucky, a great treasure for sure... Also love the Eiffel Tower material Cheers Kaylee
This is a particularly beautiful one. How fabulous is Wendy giving all that info too.
Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments! Wendy you are amazing! I'd love to send you something in thanks!
Your machine is gorgeous , don't you just love the decal ,you are very lucky to have been given such a treasure.
Wendz beat me to it. So cool that you know all that info about the machine. But you have to sew something with it, it will get the sads if you don't use it!
Your new(old) sewing machine is a real treasure. I am sure it could tell a tale or two.
What a fun collectors item! I like all the painted embellishments on it too. So pretty!
