Here is one in lakeland florida Lee whose ever it is, the date is not correct |

It never ceases to amaze me how many people list the patent date on a machine as the manufacturing date & even then how many will list the first one rather than the last one. With a patent date of Mar 25, 1890 listed it's obvious this machine was built later than that date. It is an extremely nice looking #9, it's not a D-9. That would put it built between 1890-1895. ?If I had to venture a guess I would say "Probably" around 1891. Miller/TN |

The one Lee posted from Florida is a D-9. Note in the picture of the right side plate it has the D-9 marking on it. It also has an 1892 patent date & a 7-digit serial number. ?#9 serial numbers did not exceed 6 digits, but when the D-9 was introduced they went to a 7-digit number with the first digit being a 2 & stamped the plate with the D-9 mark.?

Hello everyone ,
I have not been posting for some time simply because other stuff took over and it's only now that I have my sewing room starting to get organised to display my collection and use for sewing that my thoughts are coming back to my own WW table and machines.? Strangely enough I had never come across a WW? machine here in Ireland and when I got the chance to purchase the table with 7 drawers but no machine I then looked to the USA to find the machine head to match the table.? My table is the same as the Florida advert one except for 6 side drawers. To Miller or someone else with with similar knowledge I have to ask , is the table Rosewood or mahogany.? All I know is it appears to be solid and not veneered like the Singer ones are.? The strange part to my WW story is that a couple of weeks after getting the table a WW 9 appeared here with its cover and also an instruction book and also a very complete roll top equipment box for it including a Boye needle tube full of needles .? So now I have both the static 9 in table and the portable 9 to match it as a lady on here sold me one which a close friend who works in Louisiana brought back to Ireland to me.? Best wishes to everyone.? Stephen in Ireland ( where we had a week of sunshine in May and the sun and the clouds have been doing battle ever since. |

Steve; A lot of the W&W cabinets were made of walnut. Other woods however were available. It would certainly be possible the cabinet could have been made from either mahogany or rosewood. About the only way I know to determine for certain would be to have someone very knowledgeable on woods to examine it directly.? Miller/TN? |
