MikeG Report post Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Ran upon a Singer 16-38 for sale. ISMACS http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/model-list/classes-1-99.html shows a 16-37, then skips to a 16-39. I cannot find anything to give me any indication of what this machine was designed for. Not sure if it's worth a 3 hour round trip to go look at it. Have any of you heard of this machine? Thanks!!

leecopp Report post Posted April 2, 2018 With my big screen monitor I believe you have a 16-88 which is an early top and bottom feed machine. http://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollections/Trade-Literature/Sewing-Machines/pdf/sil10-54.pdf talks about it a bit. I would guess that it is a predecessor of the 16-188 but it is just a bluff. Looks like it has sewn miles of seams .. grin .. it could be fun. My old 16k33 uses class 15 bobbins and bobbin cases. I think some 16-188 feet are available. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeG Report post Posted April 2, 2018 Thank you - the ad was 16-38 and I didn't look closely. With my eyes, it might not have mattered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
