      Hi again, NikkiPYR. :-)

      A hand-crank portable. Very cool.

      Per the serial number tables at the International Sewing Machine Collectors' Society (ISMACS) website, serial number G7461051 was one of a block of 20,000 consecutive ([G]7453126 through [G]7473125) serial numbers allotted by the central office to the Elizabethport factory October 14 1919 and all were destined to be stamped into the beds of model 128 machines.

      It probably rolled off of the assembly line by the allotment date of the next block of numbers destined for model 128 machines (December 24 1919):

      *snip*

      G- 7453126 7473125 128 20000 October 14 1919

      G- 7612951 7637950 128 25000 December 24 1919

      *snip*

      G-6,500,000 to G-8,500,000 1919 1920

      That your grandmother's machine is a model 128 checks out visually. It has the little trapezoidal or shovel blade-shaped access panel, the dual slide plates, a circular needle plate and a high-mounted bobbin-winder:

      About models 127 and 128 specifically (the 128 is just a three-quarters size version of the 127):

      Your decal set looks like La Vencedora:

      I can't quite tell, but your face plate looks like some variety of Vines:

      Your portable case looks like number 198:

      198 PORTABLE CASE
      Base (83512) and cover (83525)
      For machines 28, 128
      Available in Oak (ATSUN), Walnut (ATTAK), Nyssa (ATTYP)

      Here's a manual for models 127 and 128:

      https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/manuals/127-128.pdf

      To anticipate the question: your grandmother's Singer model 128 isn't rare; Singer made thousands of them.

      Indeed, most vintage Singers aren't rare, because Singer literally made millions of them. I think an estimate of ninety-six million is conservative, because that would only account for the ones for which records haven't been lost.

      However, your grandmother's sewing machine is beautiful with that La Vencedora decal set. <3

      Thank you! You’re a whale of information and now that I know about each sewing machine I can appreciate them more.
