For auction is an 1877 Singer New Family Model 12 sewing machine. Details about this machine:Serial number 2.722.692 161.692Boat shuttle- includedOne bobbinFiddle baseMade in 1877Uses a round shaft long needleLow armThe flywheel stop feature was added to the Model 12 in 1872. This is a nice feature and this machine has it. Earlier models and most of the ones you see do not. I have gotten this machine to sew but to use as an everyday machine it will need a little work- bobbin wheel, cosmetic wear. There very little rust on the machine (no appearance of being "barn kept" or weathered) but there is japanning loss along the edge, paint splash and the steel parts could use a good cleaning. Underside is very clean and all mechanical parts (arm, springs, etc) are in excellent condition. Timing is great. NOTE: I HAVE THE LEFT SLIDE PLATE. IT IS NOT PICTURED BUT I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL THAT WENT WITH THIS MACHINE. This would make an excellent display but also an excellent straight-stitch everyday machine. It will easily last another 140 years with little care. Shipping to 50 US states only. Thanks and . Posted with eBay Mobile
