Three drawers on either size (one was missing its pull hardware), and the “coffin lid” was missing. It came on a stand that in possibly the best condition of most of my machines. Despite its shabby condition, I snapped it up. History: It was the first time I’d seen a Pheasant decal available locally. It moved to the US with us in 2005, and continues to be my day-to-day go-to machine. It is a wonderful machine and has always been. History: I bought this in South London during my late teens. Owing to its fiddle base AND decal set, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to own this. History: I think I was prepared to pay close to $100 for this, but when I offered to give the seller a cast iron frame that I had for a different machine (he wanted one for a table stand), he dropped the price to $70 or so. It had been motorized, but cleaned up nicely and eventually settled into an beautiful cabinet. History: I bought this in a back-road junk shop for $10. It’s oiled, greased, and works beautifully. On a boat shuttle, the bobbin drops directly down (length-wise) into the shuttle.įortunately, I found someone on eBay in the UK who sold these, which was GREAT! The downside was that they cost the same as what I paid for the machine itself! I’d not heard of those before – the only bullet-like shuttles that I’d seen before was from an early 1900 model I had, and the bobbin on that went into the end of the shuttle. The overall action was pretty stiff, but I knew that I could get it working.ĥ years later (project was pushed to a back burner), I discovered that this Singer machine required a special type of shuttle – a ‘boat’ shuttle. There was no lid for it and it was missing the shuttle, bobbins, a screw, the drive belt, and the ring around the bobbin winder was super hard. I knew looking at the serial number that it was from the 1870s or 80s. History: I bought this at a flea market for $70. I present for you herewith my collection of Singer sewing machines.
