• Original 1923 Model 66 “red eye” machine in working mechanical order, well oiled and cared-for, and in very good cosmetic condition. Serial No. G0279149. Needs a new belt. (These can be easily obtained online.) Otherwise, needs only minor adjustments. Includes all original decals and paint, good patina, minimal rust, and only minor cosmetic wear.
• Original Singer B.T. 27 motor (Serial No. 2131745) and sweing machine controller switch. Also in good working order, and very good cosmetic condition. (See photos.) Includes original wiring and cords with cloth casing, which has deteriorated, and will need to be replaced for use, and later extension (which should also be replaced).
• Original Singer lamp attachment.
• Original seven-drawer case, with oak veneer and mahogany-colored stain. Original finish. Only minor wear. No chips in the veneer.
• Original cast iron treadle. (The treadle is used here as an on/off switch for the motor, not to crank the machine.)
• Original 1923 Model 66 owners manual. (This has been saturated with 3-in-1 oil since before I acquired it. The pages are still legible as it is, and perhaps there is a way to extract the oil.)
• Assorted original accessories. (See photos.)
This is a very rare machine that needs to find a new home—hopefully one where someone actually knows how to use it!
