What kind of Singer Machine did I buy ?

[Oldiesfan]

The mechanism for raising up the roller foot is especially for ? 

Under what kind of circumstances do use it . And with what kind of materials?

I would imagine to help keep the stitch length even when turning corners etc..if you do a circle with a roller foot it will have a larger stitch length on the outside curve and a smaller on the inside unless it has a gear on the roller like some newer ones do. On machines without it you would use the knee lift to do the same thing....but i could be wrong??  €5!  well done.

Maybe a manual?

 Unfortunately things have gone crazy expensive from the UK but you don´t see this everyday! Looks like the 45k arm version of the 34k  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165004052548?hash=item266b020844:g:~lMAAOSwKEthDRHP

A User manual in pdf is already arrived and printed . See quote above.  

Maybe someday I'll vind one in paper .

Parts manuals in paper are not number one on my search list .

Rare !? There's no brass plate with class 34k1 or ? mentioned on this machine .

It looks as if there never was a plate . Only the Singer logo in brass .

I think that since there is no decals left then it has been repainted so the holes are probably covered over with paint.

That is just....beeeeautiful ...*sobsniff*.

So what sort of leather/ production would this machine have sewn in its day?

Some parts of the decals on top are still visible. It's repainted yes , but in a very bad way . There's a lot of the repaint gone . So I could check the machine in a easy way . At last i used a magnification glass as a second opinion.  No holes , nothing . In that area is only a very thin layer original paint left . 

 

For now i cleaned a lot off parts in a ultrasoon cleaner .

And they look great .

What kind of materials this machine was sewing a long time ago,  i don't no .

Maybe someone els knows that .

 

How much would a machine like this cost ? On Ebay or as collectable?
