Singer Sewing machine free to good home

[MrEd]

Guys i have a singer sewing machine, the old skool hand cranked one. well actually i have two but im having a clear out so one has to go.


This is a 1897 vibrating shuttle sewing machine. It comes with instruction booklet, screwdriver, shuttle and 3 bobbins and the base it sits in but has no case or spare feet or anything. It is however in good working order, in fact it sews really nice for a 113 year old machine. Nice straight stitches and good positive action.

Easy to use, feet for doing different stitches are readily available cheaply on ebay etc as are needles for stitching anything from silk to leather.

This is the one, it has some marks a scratches on it but they are all cosmetic.i have given it a clean and oil and its stitching fine.

It stitching nicely, tensions are all good top and bottom, i quickly wizzed this up to show you

Would be great for making your homemade underblankets or shirts or modding jackets etc. those that have used them know these are bombproof machines! Will stitch just about anything you can jam under the foot lol

I dont want anything for it, but it will need collecting as its heavy and large i just cant be arsed with ebaying it.

Collection only (sorry)from Esher in Surrey
More pics can be posted if required.

Cheers
Ed

My thanks to two most splendid gentlemen, MrEd for the most generous offer and to Mesquite who picked it up and delivered it to the outdoors show Meet.
