Singer Sewing Machine Model 16-88 it is Motorized, motor date say 1909.

OK, here is what I know about this machine. It belonged to my late husband, I will try to tell you what I observed about it.

It is a commercial canvas leather machine. I believe a different sewing table top has been put on over the original base.

I have plugged it in, the motor sound good an probably worth the starting bid alone, but belts are not hooked up so I do not know if it runs properly.

There are lots of bobbins, bobbin cases, and things I have no idea what they are, may not even belong to this machine.

I too make my living with leather craft but I use a different machine. Its time this one goes to some one that can appreciate & understand this wonderful machine.

It needs cleaned, has been in storage more years then I care to remember.

i really don't want to ship it, but its free for the taking. Located in Walla Walla, WA
