We happened to be on vacation in the desert at the time so I also left her out in the 109 degree temps to soften up all that goo, which I think really helped. Lovely example of early 20th-century craftsmanship. I purchased Florence from the auction site for $10 plus shipping, but she was in pretty rough shape! The surface was coated with dried oil residue which made a thick crust that will only budge with a lot of elbow grease, gojo hand cleaner, and a bag of cotton balls. Vintage Singer 66 Redeye with that has been electrified with a foot pedal This gorgeous machine maintains all the charm and sturdy mechanicals of its origin but adds some modern-day power From the 1920s. The Singer class 66 models were heavy duty domestic sewing machines that set the standard for several decades, and indeed the Class 66 bobbin and the 66 style.
In any case, the 66 is a workhorse machine and its drop-in bobbin makes it easy to use as well. After WWII there were quite a few 66 clones made in Japan by Toyota and other manufacturers. The 66 has a baby sibling, the 99, which is just a ¾ scaled 66 machine to facilitate portability. In the UK, the Red Eye decals are quite rare while the lotus decals are more common on the model 66s. This model was very popular and was sold in the US from between 19, though the Red Eye decal set was discontinued in 1923, making Florence one of the last 66s with this distinctive look, also known as the Red Head or “scroll” decals.
I’d like to introduce you to Florence: The Machine.
