    Well, I lied. Reading from the intact manual with it, the oiling can is missing. Also I had to toss out the snapped, rotting leather belt (old replacement?) that was being used on it.

    But, excitingly, we have the LOCAL (Yes!) 1919 Warranty Certificate for it, too. Not only is the manual there (as stated,) but also the "latest attachment set" in box and many items stored in the drawers along with the key.

    This was being Thrown Away along with 2 others (both now used as desks, 1 in my room for display, 1 in my mom's room for the computer.)

    This one, quite large, sits downstairs. The paper with it is stored with other antique documents in my room, albeit the thread remains in the drawers, along with a number of modern receipts.

    I'm not into sewing machines much, so that's all I can say on it. It's a nice piece, though, that was heavy to load and then unload then move to our new home then carry downstairs, upstairs and down again.

    A couple needle-threaders, one I believe from pre-WW1 Germany:

    Anyone know more on this? It's a "Flat Tension Vibrating Shuttle."

      Oil cans missing? Sorry, I can only like it then.

      I have a replacement, though. Sadly it's in poor shape as I dug it up. :P

      It looks good. It's cool to see a New Home version instead of the heavily produced Singer.

      None were singer. The other I think was Wilson something or other, but I'd have to look.

      My handy hint for moving it is to remove the machine from the table. There should only be two screws. Too late now sorry. I had to get mine up about 30-40 feet/three stories. Took everything apart that could come apart.

      I just carried it, but thanks. LOL.
