Sovran81 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 I was recently offered a military sewing machine from the above era. the only info I could get from the sweet old lady was that it was used to sew canvas.Since I would have to have the machine freighted from the midwest site unseen I was hoping some of our machine experts could tell me what this sewing machine might be. I dont think the military would have bought from more than 1-2 suppliers in that era. I need to figure out if the machine is worth the freight. Sorry I dont know any more info than this.

In the military facilities that I have been to, the most popular machines that were there were the Singer Class 7, Singer 97-10, Singer 144/145, Singer 111W, and the Singer211G. Hope this helps.

Sovran81 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 Thanks Steve. Google was not my friend on this search. Now just a little more research to decide if those machines are worth the shipping knowing that anything in his garage grew rust faster than gardens grow weeds.
