It is a clone of a Singer 95 that was in existence from 1912 though 1948. They were meant to be used in garment factories. Some had motors with clutches and others just had clutches that mated to driven shafts that fed a line of identical machines. This is a tailor's garment sewing machine for light to medium weight cloth. It has bottom feed and probably uses System 88x1 or DBx1 needles. It has a horizontal hook and probably handles up to #92 bonded thread. That works best with a #19 needle. It will most likely do better with #69 bonded thread and a #18 needle. If you sew light leather (up to maybe 4-6 ounces combined), use leather point needles. If you sew cloth garments, use common cotton or polycore thread and round point needles. If this Consew is a clone of a typical Singer 95, it would have a very low maximum thickness under the foot. Some models didn't even clear 1/8 inch. The most I saw listed on ISMACS were later models that could clear up to 3/16 inch. Quote
