The machine is in very good order and as far as I can see and know it is complete. It has a lot of fly rust.
It needs a very good polishing. This is a very rare machine. I think there is a video on youtube from a working example. Underneath you can read the machine's purpose. Beautiful example of old industrial machinery.
THE SINGER 69-22 : For sewing Cash's marking tags or similar strip identification tags on articles to be laundered. It is also used for tacking Blucher shoes. The machine sews the four sides of each tag, making a rectangular tack 50/64" by 15/64", consisting of twenty-one lock stitches, including three fastening stitches. There are six stitches in each of the upper and lower rows of stitches and three stitches in each end. BE AWARE THIS SALE IS FOR THE MACHINE ONLY!!!!!
NOT THE TABLE OR ANYTHING ELSE!! Of course I can not guarantee the machine in anyway as it is well over a 100 years old. All that I can tell you is that it is a good working machine but it does need some T. The machine is in complete, original untouched and unrestored condition.
