This is a 1922 Singer 66 sewing machine with Redeye decals. I've cleaned and oiled the machine; the mechanism spins freely, the needle goes up and down, and the feed dogs are working. The machine includes a bobbin. I haven't tried sewing with it. The Redeye decals are in really good condition, with a couple small spots of "silvering", and some scratches in the Singer lettering. There are some minor cosmetic issues: Despite some major nicks in the paint, which I re-touched with black gloss, most of the paint chips missed the decal sections. There is some light crackling of the finish on the surface of the flat base. The previous owner ran a piece of tape across the base of the machine, which, although the residue was cleaned off, did leave a mark on the base. This machine was set up with a smaller wheel and an electric motor. I'm selling the motor (with foot pedal, light, and electic box) in a separate auction, and if you purchase the motor I will install these items before shipping. The plate for the light covers the round hole on the back. Besides these nicks and scratches, the machine does have one mechanical issue: the wheel wobbles a little. It's not the wheel itself, but the shaft or internal mechanism. This may just need a tuneup or a parts replacement. I'm not sure which. Otherwise, this is a really beautiful machine, with read more
