      I’ve always been curious about the hand-crank models but since you have the handbook, maybe you could look this up and post the answer:
      Does the person doing the sewing also have to turn the crank or does a “helper” turn the crank?

      I’ve done lots of sewing in my time, on everything from my granny’s treadle machine to the best of the modern day Singers and Kenmore models.
      Keeping fabric aligned and keeping the stitching straight is a two-hand job as you guide the fabric under the presser foot, so how on Earth did those seamstresses manage to also turn that crank??

      I must commend every lady who sewed on a hand-cranked model; they were very talented indeed! I would need a third hand!

      Yes, that would be quite a feat! Lol!

      Hi, "to operate the hand machine"

      clamp the balance wheel, turn the handle from you with an easy and regular motion. Continue the practice with a piece of material under the pressure foot before beginning to sew. When replacing the cover, see that the handle is turned under the Balance Wheel towards the back of the machine.

      and thats all it says, not a lot of help really.

      does anyone know if these are worth anything nowadays?

      Thanks for looking up those instructions!
      Check sites like eBay for prices of similar machines.

      I have been trying to find out more about my Grandmothers machine which is identical to this but the book/manual says it is for models 127 and 128... As for the sewing with it I just remember her building up a speed and letting the handle go. That was for something like a sheet I think.

      Thank you.

      Sorry we have been away.
      Not really as I couldn't quite figure out how the sizing worked.
      Not to worry but I think it is a 1911 machine not a 1925 as per the booklet with it.

      :-)
