^^^are you sure that's a 1949 White? Looks much earlier to me.

Yes I'm pretty sure; I emailed Viking, the company that now owns White with the serial number and that's the year they gave me.

One of my favorite threads! Don't know how I missed it for so long. I love the old Singers and collect a few of them. I have models 15, 66, 99, 127, 201, 201k, and Featherweights. I fixed up a Bel-Air for my granddaughter and it sews great. It looks like a Singer 99 and is stamped "Made in Occupied Japan". Love the history with these old machines.

Picked up the cutest ever Singer Sew Handy machine from 1955 according to my research. Adorable. Not sure if this is a toy or real one.
I also found Touch and Sew accessories and manual for a Singer Model 648 and Buttonholer for Slant needle zig zag sewing machines from Singer whatever that is with manual.
I don't think I count as a collector as I only have 1 vintage sewing machine: A Frister Rossman model K dated 13/11/1930.
I picked it up from a local charity shop recently, I've got it up and running after a lot of de-fluffing!!!
Does anybody know of a source for the manuals?
I've worked out what most of it does, but I'm not sure what some of the adjustment screws do.
I'll post some pictures when I get a chance.

Fellow dealer on Tias has just about every manual made.
Close, but no cigar (I'd already checked that site) - no model K, I think it's also called a Transverse Shuttle machine.
I do actually have the manual, it's just that it starts on 'figure 3' so presumably something is missing...
I'm just wondering what the adjustment knobs on the end of the upper arm (i.e. over the needle) do - I know the front one is the top tension adjustment, but have no idea about the other 2???

I really think if you sent this information to this dealer they could help you with it. Possibly.
Thanks for the link. I actually found roughly what I wanted here:

-not exactly the same as mine, but close enough :-)
