Boni Report post Posted August 31, 2021 Howdy y’all. This is my first time posting however I have really enjoyed reading all the knowledge you guys have about old singer machines. I have utilized these posts to figure out how to clean and use 3 old singer machines, first is a 45sv4 from 1916. Second is a 16-188 from 1925 and the third is a 144w302. Yesterday I picked up a “mystery” singer machine for $20. I believe it is in the 111w class but I am not sure the exact model. I was hoping you guys and gals could help me identify the specific model. The serial number starts with W so the singer database has no info. However thanks to a previous post with some info about these W machines I do know that it was made pre-1940. But that is the extent of the history. I will try to attach some pics but I am not very tech savvy so please let me know if you don’t see them. thank you all for sharing your knowledge and experience with a newbie like me.

Boni Report post Posted August 31, 2021 Thanks for the reply. That narrows it down some. What is the difference between those model numbers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have attached a pdf and rather then me retyping the difference are listed under "Description". Essentially the higher the number the capable the machine. kgg Edited August 31, 2021 by kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
