Model Unknown Please Help

6 years ago

Can anyone help me figure out what kind of sewing machine this is? It says MG but the base says Singer. My grandma is wanting to get rid of some items but we dont want to throw out something that could be saved or worth something. The machine has all kinds of attachments located in a small box. I've tried to search based on the h263404 number on the base of the machine but nothing comes up. Can anyone help identify and possibly get a price??

It's a Montgomery Ward machine (electric?) in a Singer base ... no mystery there. Wards bought machines made by others and added their label.

The probable manufacturer is "Happy" of Japan ... good quality machines if well cared for.

The attachments are binding feet and others. I can't ID them all.

IF IT WORKS, it could be a useful machine for someone who quilts, but unless old treadle machine bases are selling for high prices, sell it on Craigslist as a complete machine for $250 or so and haggle down a bit.

It is a Montgomery Ward machine, treadle on a singer treadle base. The feet are in a "puzzle box" aka accessory box. To determine if it works, you need to put a belt on it, which may be trying since two machine companies are involved. You need to show that the bobbin is with the machine and if all the pressure feet are there. The machine looks good. Best wishes on selling it.

Leaving aside the grammar question, it is really very easy to post photos now. Before, you had to put them onto photo bucket or similar site first. Now you can upload straight from your computer using the photo button below. Many of us disliked Houzz when they first took over GW but I think the consensus now is that it is vastly improved. It just needs a little getting used to. You don't need to navigate through all the Houzz stuff. Just have the garden fora on your favourites. Regarding Tiff's response, she gave you a genus name. It is unlikely many people could Identify your plant more exactly than just Philodendron on the info given. I feel a flak attack is likely but just for future reference, maybe in a context where it does matter, eg a job application, advise is a verb and advice is a noun. They are pronounced differently, at least in the version of English I speak. Ask someone to advise but ask them for advice.

They look like aphids. Blast them off with a strong spray of water. Or use insecticidal soap spray. And yeah, you can eat those peppers still. Just wash off the aphids. Rodney

Thanks for all your help! #1 does look like a Dischidia nummularia when I googled a pic, and #2 is definitely a Hoya Linearis! They are both growing very well and look great in my flat. I own a flower shop in London and ordered them a selection of mixed hanging plants through my supplier in holland, loved them so much I took them home. Have orderd some more for the shop now as the supplier thought the second was a type of senecio, thanks to you guys I put him straight

Singer Featherweights can go for high prices because quilters love them, especially as travel machines. Other old machines, like yours, have chiefly decorative value, or perhaps sentimental value to family members. Someone living off the grid might want a treadle machine, but otherwise they usually sell for very little.

If it works, it's of value to somebody - maybe $75 - $100. You could donate it or see if you could get $$ for it on Craig's List or NextDoor, if you like. Is it truly a treadle machine, or is that just a treadle base? I see power cords...?
