Hmmm, here's a listing at Worthpoint (of course, at Worthpoint, you don't know the cost, nor even if it's still available without creating an account): You could try singerpartsonline, not only because they carry a shuttle assembly that's supposed to be compatible, but they offer "no hassle" refunds: I fear you need some true expert help, because a replacement shuttle assembly is not inexpensive. Here is a copy of the source document used by Wikipedia ("Price List of Parts, Machines Nos. It looks oddly incomplete, and I was unable to find anything online that looked just like it.Įven if it were complete, it has straight sides, so I don't think it would be the right shuttle, because it's not "wasp-waisted," that is to say, not narrower in the middle than it is on the ends. I think you're right that the item in your fourth picture is not correct for your vintage sewing machine.

See your 'coffin top' portable case (scroll down):Īs to the bobbin and bobbin case, the Singer model 28 definitely uses the shuttle style (scroll down): Your machine has the decal on top indicating that it indeed was made in Great Britain.įurther, the trapezoidal access panel on the front, and the split slide plates on the machine bed are characteristic of the model 28. The "K" in the model number simply means that it was manufactured at Singer's Kilbowie, Scotland factory.

See the machine that stamped the serial numbers into the machine beds at around the 14:17 mark in this circa 1934 documentary: That translates to: a block of 275,000 serial numbers ranging from 887210 through 1162209 was allotted July through December 1906, and destined to be stamped on model 28K machines.

That is to say, what I read as serial number "S916378" fits into the below range, per the International Sewing Machine Collectors' Society (ISMACS) serial number tables (which ISMACS got directly from Singer who endorses them via linkage): :-)Īlmost everything seems to check out visually on your machine. The shuttle is called a torpedo shuttle based on its shape.
