Question
I found a old singer sewing machine at the dump it is black and in very rough condition. It looks like it should mount to a table it has two threaded bares under it. And it has a spinning wheel on it but barely spins. I cant find a year on it is there any way to better identify it? Is there any reason not to bring it back to the dump?
Hello Matt,
Thank you for your query but I am not an expert in the household or domestic sewing machine. Please redirect your question to an expert in that field.
I can help you with the toy or salesman sample sized antique sewing machine only.
Regards,
Irene

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
