Oops. Wrong turn. I thought this was a thread about sewing machines.

But it is a purty gun!

Please clarify. If only 500 were made, how are there still 2153 still circulating. I have the Colt version of the same gun.

I had once owned a sewing machine that looked pretty close to the sewing machine in your images, but my sewing machine was made by the Colt corporation & was called a Gold Cup model. It "stitched more accurately when a pro was 'stitching' with it than I could stitch with it. He definitely proved that the Gold Cup sewing machine had what he called "KEYHOLE" stitching capability!!!

I have a 1943 made Ithaca.

The person I got it from claims it is a Vietnam brought back from a relative. I don't know if the story is true or not. When I was over there we were not allowed to claim 1911s as a war trophy even if captured from the enemy. If so that pistol could have been used in WWII, Korea and Vietnam.

People who have made non-Singer models look in almost all respects like the original Singers (fakes) or have simply claimed the model they have is a Singer when it's not. AKA con men or just clueless people. My 2153 reference is tongue-in-cheek.
