My "new" 1929 Singer 101

It was $50, including the beautiful table. When I bought it, the light was broken, and while the needle did go up and down, the thing just ate fabric. Wouldn't do a proper stitch. I spent a couple of hours cleaning and adjusting it this morning, et voila! (I thought it was a Singer 66, but it's really a 101.)

you need the 66525 part for your machine, the slide plate. I have a 1928 singer 101 too.

Congratulations! It's a beauty and sews like a dream. I'm currently buying a Featherweight on layaway. Two more payments and it's mine!!! Enjoy your new Singer!

I look at antiques this way: If you can give them a job to do and you can take care of them, by all means use them! That's exactly what they were meant to do! =D

It's a great machine - the first one with a built-in ("potted") motor. You should be able to find a throat plate (to cover the bobbin) pretty easily. Congratulations on a nice find!

That is fantastically smooth running how did you do that? :P I wish my old machine was that smooth...

Wow that's a great price. And, all problems aside, it is gorgeous!
