Current Collection of Sewing Machines


Model 15-88 treadle sewing machine - purchased by Mom in Canada in 1948. This one is well used but in excellent shape since Mom really looked after it. It has the original manual and all the attachments that came with it. This was the machine my wedding dress was sewn on.
Singer model 66 sewing machine - built on August 29, 1904. This is my daughter's sewing machine. I picked it up very very cheap from a guy who was into building treadle cabinets into tables and junking the heads. It needs a real spool pin.
Singer model 15-91, Centennial Model (built in 1951, which was Singer's centennial year). Except for the motor, this machine is identical to the model 15-88 above. The picture below shows how to tell them apart.
The motor on the 15-91. This motor is built onto the machine directly and drives the machine through spiral gears. The 15-88, which is treadle driven, has no such bump on the back.
Singer model 66, painted an ugly brown, built on September 5, 1917. I picked this up for my other daughter.
Singer model 66 "Redeye" built on September 9, 1919. I picked this one up because it came with attachments and the price was right for just the attachments. It's waiting for me to attach the bobbin winder.
Singer model 115 treadle built on September 14, 1920. Plain cherry cabinet. I purchased it thinking it was a model 15, like my Mom's. If anyone has a bobbin case for this thing, or any info on it, please email me. The part number for the bobbin case is 55651.
Singer model 99 sewing machine built on October 22, 1924. This little machine arrived completely frozen up. Now, it works very well and is my favorite machine to piece on. Spouse says it runs too quite to be a sewing machine. It came with a somewhat scuffed up, but cute, bent wood case.
This little Singer model 20-10 is from the late 1940's. It looks identical to the one I used when I was a kid, but that one is long gone. I made a heck of alot of crude doll clothes on that one.
Kenmore 17860 purchased around 1982
