It is a 1924 99 and that is all I know, it looks JUST like yours. I was wondering why so many of these that I see have the foot pedal and not knee powered. Any tips on HOW would be a tremendous help as I have never done this. I don't even know what to clean the beautiful outside of this machine with. The internals should be easier to clean, having worked in a machine shop some. I plan on using it, not selling it but I still would love to bring it back to all it's glory. <br />Thanks<br /><br />Yours is a VERY beautiful example.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10949991513929978746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218003.post-37319126296137523212011-02-03T10:38:18.637-08:002011-02-03T10:38:18.637-08:00Knee powered!

Most of the (very little) sewing I've done in my life was done on a knee powered sewing machine: my grandma's lovely Pfaff (circa 1951, a child compared to yours!). Grandma has always said she could sew for hours on a knee powered machine, but her leg got tired extremely fast on machines operated with a foot pedal thingy (the electric ones, not like your lovely treadle-powered Singer). So, of course, her bias in favor of knee powered machines has rubbed off on me! :)Josianehttp://english.josianericher.com/noreply@blogger.com
