Need Some Assistance On A Couple Machines Singer 52-60 And A Metropolitan

[Mudruck]

Looking for some information on these machines. I have no clue about use, value or if they could even be used for leatherwork at all.

The first is a Singer marked 52-60.

This thing has 10 needles! They look to be pretty fine and must be used with a fairly light thread.

Close up of the model label.

The next is a machine that is much heavier in weight than the SInger. It is marked Metropolitan.

This machine only has 6 needles.

Markings of the end plate for the one marked Metropolitan.

Any information on these machines would be greatly appreciated.

These multi-needle machines are used to make cloth garments in factories. They are of absolutely no use to a leathercrafter. Do not entertain any ideas to the contrary. I hope you didn't invest money in them, unless you are going into the cloth garment industry..

Waist band attachment probably.

Thanks a lot! That is exactly what I needed. Actually I didn't spend anything on them at all. Someone gave them to me as a gift and I figure if I can't use them for what I need, I can hopefully sell them off maybe... somewhere... hopefully. lol
