@jepyang Do you have the serial number handy?

@jepyang @sewing model 15? http://www.needlebar.org/main/15chart/index.html http://needlebar.org/main/sident/index.html

@jepyang I thought there was a thing where you could plug in the serial number of the machine and it would tell you what it was?

@jepyang @sewing there's a database where you can enter the serial number

https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/serial-numbers/singer-sewing-machine-serial-number-database.html

@jepyang @sewing Oooh, My grandmother had one that, if not the same one, was very very similar. Powered by rocking a treadle with your foot. I believe it was her mother's I want to say circa 1900-1910 at the newest.

@jepyang That looks identical to the one our mom has! But maybe we're just bad at differentiating.

@jepyang @sewing oh nice, you've got the proper table & everything

@jepyang @sewing I HAVE this one.

@jepyang @sewing I know nothing about antique sewing machines but I found these relevant links which look like a match:
https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/195710-old-singer-sewing-machine
https://hudsonwoodworking.com/before-after-pics/1879-singer-sewing-machine-restoration_edited-800x417/

The last commenter on the first link appears to know what they're talking about, it does look like a Singer 9W (1905-1912)

@jepyang @sewing there's a website that lists all the serial numbers and models of Singer sewing machines. https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/serial-numbers/singer-sewing-machine-serial-number-database.html

@jepyang is it unusual in some way? I'd guess it was from the 1910s-1920s, if that helps

@jepyang @sewing Maybe there is a serial/model number plate on the underside (not the table)?

@jepyang @sewing You've already gotten pointed to the serial number database so I will just post gratuitous pictures of Mrs. Epley's Singer, a Red-Eye (model 66, 1916) I picked up at an estate sale.

(Apologies for cat photobombing).

@jepyang
It appears to be a Singer sewing machine. Pretty old by the looks of it. Hth. :blobcat_uwu:

@jepyang does it still have its serial number attached?

That would be the easiest and most definitive way to identify it. There are online references available that list serial number formats, number ranges, models and years.

@jepyang @sewing
Yep, that’s a Singer.

@jepyang @sewing oh neat! I'm pretty sure my grandmother had one of those. no idea if it's still in the family though.

@jepyang @sewing It's not a Model 99? It looks like the one my grandmother had.

@sewing@a.gup.peI@jepyang@wandering.shop it’s very similar to mine but I can’t get to it at the moment to check. There should be a serial number on the machine somewhere you can look up? (May not be original to the table, looks 40s to me)

@jepyang @sewing No, but I've seen that type before in antique shops. Maybe look for a pricing guide?

@jepyang @sewing I can't help with the model search, but I'm always happy to see these things because my mother had a similar one and I learned how to sew with it! (Now I appreciate the luxury of an electric sewing machine :D)
