1937 Singer 15K



 
Recently acquired by my friend, this splendid 1937 Singer 15K treadle is now ready for some action.  My friend has only just moved into a new house, and decided that she could definitely find the space for a treadle.  This machine is in a cabinet, and when not in use takes up very little space.
 

We spent a very happy time on Wednesday chatting away while I gave the machine a once over.  It is now de-fluffed, polished and oiled and ready to go. 
 
My friend has plans...

  1. RAF decals??? Someone repainted my Gritzner with part of the RAF decals. Took me a long time to identify the machine since it had been refurbished (badge is missing). Nice machine. Your friend should be pleased with it.

    2. Lynne from UK here!! What a beauty. I just bought a little hand cranked Singer manufactured in the 1890's I need to see if I can get her working. I've named her Billie which was the nick name my mum's dad gave her when she was a child. Mum was the best seamstress and made many outfits on her singer (an electric machine) and I learnt to sew on a singer. Billie joins Pearlsa a Singer Legacy sewing and embroidery machine (computerized) and Nomy my Janome mechanical machine.
