I've seen some Singer sewing machines with local made threadles. Name of the treadles was the same as city where they built.

[@erikneek]

I didn't knew that. Thank you for sharing.

I just bought 3. Singer 15.91. I started collecting. Greetings from Virginia

[@erikneek]

You bought 3? OMG, you too?! LOL! I've had far too many, now I only have 15 Singers in my possession. The class 15 is great, and a 15 with a potted motor is a great purchase. What other Singers have you bought? All the best from The Netherlands.

Can’t remember it’s in my storage I believe 66. Like new. I’m a pest control I go every house and I found that I ask if it’s for sale since she doesn’t need it I offer $25 I believe huh it’s a steal. And one is touch and sew. Like new all bells and whistles book I was doing a service it’s ready for donation I ask can I have it. And she gave it to me hahahahha. Lucky guy. Try ultra Sonic’s cleaning like doing jewelry it’s much better not harming the metal. Good luck bro. I’m Frank. From Philippines living here in Virginia USA. God bless bro

@@KZbinrkit7 Hi Frank, the Singer 66 is nice too. I havent tried the Touch and Sew. There is a 1960s Singer Touch and Sew-ad on YT. Perhaps you'd like to watch that video too. If you're on the hunt for Singer machines: Try to find a good 201. You're going to love that machine. Or a 221 featheweight is nice too, but overpriced. I'm fond of the Singer 20 and 24. Good luck and take care

[@Youtuberkit7]

Can you help me find a model industrial zigzager. Yap. But why I focus on 15-91. Very good machine on leather bro. I’ll start collecting and sell it.

@@KZbinrkit7 start with fb marketplace. Good luck

There was a BBc documentary film about UK Scotland Kilbowie, Clydebank Singer Factory.

[@erikneek]

Thanks for sharing! I think I saw that video a couple of years ago. Was it an old documentary, 1970's/1980's?

[@clementihammock7572]

12:31 pm Eric I can't find information on my singer 12K AB 157792. Where was it made and how old is it?

[@erikneek]

@@lyndameacham6107 a letter k after the model number indicates where it was built. K means Kilbowie (Clydebank). However the serial number that you provided belongs to a singer model 99 built in 1926 in elisabethport nj. So not a singer 12k but a 99-.

[@lyndameacham6107]

@@erikneek Thank you can I send you a photo?

[@lyndameacham6107]

Thank you Eric I found a photo of the 99 and it is a match.

[@diola470]

His name is simanco 1923, he is worth a lot now, he is a simanco hand crank.

[@erikneek]

Unfortunately I don't understand your comment. Simanco is not a name but an abbreviation for Singer Manufacturing Company. The abbreviation was used on parts, not as a reference to a complete sewing machine. A Singer from 1923 is NOT worth a lot, only a few tenners at most.

[@diola470]

I mean, my sewing machine's name is simanco, according to my research, it was made in 1923, I was just asking you, if you know, about the antique hand crank sewing machine stitches.

[@erikneek]

Congratulations @@diola470 on your sewing machine. The name fits the machine 🙂 Do you know what model number your machine is??? Most common machines in that era are the Singer 66, the Singer 99 (3/4 sized Singer 66), Singer 12 and Singer 28/ 128. I have many hand crank machines. Honestly I like them better than machines with a motor because the wiring gets brittle over the years so they become unsafe to use. Furthermore: you can apply much more force/power on hand crank machines. Unfortunately they are not worth a lot. As you know I have a separate video on the value of vintage and antique Singer sewing machines. Most are only worth up to 100 euros/dollars depending on the location, condition and so on. Good luck and enjoy your old Singer!

[@diola470]

I'm sure, S.N #AA884289, that model I don't know where it is
