Members Jsanders50hd Posted December 28, 2018 Members Report Posted December 28, 2018 Just acquired this singer 111wsv31 looking to find out some history if anybody knows anything. All I can find is by SN# it's pre 1940'. The W is made in Bridgeport, CT and the SV is what some call "special variety" or custom made for customer. From what I can tell this is the predicessor to the 144w201. It's a 20" throat with no reverse. It seems that it takes quite a few normal 111w parts but obviously there's many that aren't. It sews beautifully and has some unique cast iron legs with the singer insignia casted onto them. Anything helps. Probably going to sell if anyone's interested. And I'm sure this being my first post to the site... I'm probably in the wrong spot. Thanks in advance https://photos.app.goo.gl/PNDNwHAKxe8sbBmM7 Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted December 29, 2018 Members Report Posted December 29, 2018 That is one I have not seen before. I agree. Heavier than a 111, looks like a 144 for sure. glenn Quote
