Singer 23-4???

[Fire88]

I came across a singer 23-4 but can not find anything on it except a parts list. 

Is it a cobbler machine that will leave marks on veg tan? 

Whats it capable of doing?

If that is the actual correct model number (23-4), the machine is for bartacking button holes and nothing more. It can sew them into both cloth and leather. It is not a cobbler's machine, nor a sewing machine for normal lockstitch work..

OTOH, if it is a 29-4, it is a cobbler's machine.

Post a picture or two and you will get a better answer.

Thanks Wiz, the plate says 23-4 I scoured the web and could only find the parts list on it.

Any machine with a bunch of pattern cam discs in the parts list image plates is probably safe to pass up for a general purpose leather sewing machine.
