STARSTITCHED Report post Posted October 18, 2018 Hello ! I'm new to this forum and have a machinery question that I'm hoping you can help me with...I have been contacted for potential purchase of this Singer sewing machine. I am told it is model #3139 - I have been trying to research it but can't seem to find any listing of a model 3139 anywhere on the internet. If anyone can help identify this machine and if you have any information on what type of work it would be best utilized for I would really appreciate it . I'm attaching photo - it is the front machine on butcher block table . Thank you - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STARSTITCHED Report post Posted October 18, 2018 Thank you so much for your speedy help! Doesn't look like this will help me with light leatherwork such as handbags. Seems to be primarily for lace. My search continues... Again many thanks for your help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schroedc Report post Posted October 18, 2018 This database can also help for Singer machines, by looking up the serial number you can at least figure out what family and approximate date of manufacture if not what sub model http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/serial-numbers/singer-sewing-machine-serial-number-database.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
