Sheilajeanne Report post Posted January 28, 2024 (edited) I apologize in advance because I know this is a domestic machine, but some of you people are so knowledgeable about old Singer machines, I hope you can help. A lady of my acquaintance found an old Singer on a treadle table, and would like to try restoring it, as it belonged to a family member. The serial is D1411055, and the Singer site says it was manufactured in January of 1908. However, the model number for that particular serial number is 28-3. The 28's were supposedly hand-cranked machines, not treadle. So, I'm scratching my head here... It even still has the treadle drive belt, though it's no longer attached. Pictures of the machine: Also, if you can point her in the right direction for finding a manual and people who can advise her with the restoration, I'm sure she'd be very grateful! Thanks!

Sheilajeanne Report post Posted January 28, 2024 (edited) Thank you so much, Nate! Awesome! And by just glancing at the manual, I can see not all the 28's were hand cranked! The second machine shown is the exact machine she inherited! So, that answers my original question. Edited January 28, 2024 by Sheilajeanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
