Thought I had seen goodpacking before but this was something else!!Dear Alex, Thank you, thank you, thank you!! The machine is absolutely top notch and the packing jobyou did was unbelievable. HelloAlex, I just wanted you to know that your lovely machine arrived stateside infine form. You are truly a marvel at packaging, there cannot be anyone better, I remain in awe! Now alittle about this lovely Singer. I have meticulously renovated her to hand crankalthough she would happily sit on a treadle base if needed as she was probablyoriginally made for bench or treadle operation. The Model 24 was made by Singerto compete with the popular Willcox & Gibbs chain stitch model that haddominated the market since Victorian times. This small machine, not much biggerthan many toys, uses a single thread to produce a simple chain stitch. Themachine was popular with hat makers and lace makers. It was a great favouritewith the Luton hat manufacturers and their straw boaters. The machine is almostsilent in operation and very smooth. The 24’s were mainly produced inElizabeth, New Jersey, USA.Our model, serial number G5200921 was made around the end of the First World War. She hasthe wonderful automatic tension.
