  I came across this vintage Singer sewing machine yesterday at the thrift store that I thought you guys might enjoy. I have no clue if this is what a lot of denim companies use to do chainstitches but it looked interesting. If I'm reading the serial# correctly the manufacture date puts this Singer at around ca.1921 or thereabouts. I didn't see a price tag on it but i'm fairly certain someone somewhere will scoop this up and sell it as an antique at an inflated price. |

Looks more like a home machine for your basic sewing duties.

it probably is just a regular old sewing machine but it looked pretty cool. I just like old things

What store was this in? I might go take a look.. are you in Minneapolis? If so, I found it at the Savers thrift store out in Bloomington. It was sitting over in the furniture section. The sewing machine is pretty big as its part of a sit-down desk type contraption. you'd need a truck and 2 or 3 people to move it. |

A home unit but the decorative paint might make it special.

I didn't see a price tag on it but figured this was one of those finds you won't come across too often, unless you're in an antique store. I saw it yesterday but it could very well be gone. |

If you read that article, continue on to the comment by Mohsin, as he actually explains what's special about the union special and where they went, unlike re article. |
