I'll have to see if I can get a pic of my mom's old foot pedal singer sewing machine/table. It was given to her by my grandma who got it from her mother who was a seamstress when they got off the boat in New York. I'm not sure if it's still operable. Just the table part itself is gorgeous. Also, what a great view out that window while you're working! That 1899 model is just beautiful.
I'd love to see a picture! If you have access to the machine, grab that serial number (assuming it's a Singer) and check out that database so you can find out the year it was made. Let me know if it runs, and if not, what the trouble might be -- often all they need is some lubrication to get spinning once more.
