Singer Sewing Machine.
Now I don't know what is happening, each time I try to put a caption on the photos it would seem I am posting. I hope I'm not because I wouldn't like to appear as if I don't have much to post. So here I go again, fingers crossed.
Enjoyed the project?

So glad you restored it, was afraid to look past the first photo thinking I would find only pieces used for something else

Amazing! I also have a very old one I’ve been wanting to restore. I don’t know if it will work or not but I still want to restore it mostly for the memories of my Grandma using hers to sew everything when her and my Pap had 17 children at home! The machine is so dirty it almost looks like it was in a fire so I’m hoping it cleans up as well as yours did. I’m anxious to look up the information on my machine as well. Thanks for your post!

Hiya Lesa. I found the information about machine by going to the Singer website and putting the number from my machine into the appropriate box. I discovered it was made in 1956. There was only 5000 machines made that year in Singer.
There is a metal tag on the front of the machine. This is the number that gives you the information about your machine. Hopefully this Will help your research. Go give your machine a facelift. You will be so glad you've Happyfied it.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Does the machine actually work?
What did you use to clean the machine? I have three antique machines but am very nervous about cleaning them and disrupting the decals (although they are all intact). Your machine/cabinet are absolutely stunning! I'm sure your Mother is thrilled!! Thank you:)
Hi I love this project and am the proud owner of my Great Grandmother's Singer which I want to restore... can I ask what you cleaned the metal stand with and also if you painted it with a gloss paint?
