Alawishes

Thanks for your info Matt. After looking up the Singer UFA on Google it looks like you have hit the nail right on the head. Other examples of this machine didn't have the table so in these photos it looks more substantial. My friend is a gunsmith and made up some holsters, sewing by hand, but this machine came available to him very inexpensively and he's hoping to reduce the amount of hand sewing.... but I think not at the cost the right machine would cost him. I agree, #69 thread is too light for what he's looking to sew, and some of the leather pieces will end up with a thickness of greater than 1/4". We live in western Canada, just north of Montana USA. Cheers, al.

Hi Everyone, A good friend is starting to do some leatherwork and has an opportunity to purchase this machine. From the serial number I've found the date of manufacture to be 1892 but I cannot find any model number. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, al.
