I have an old Singer hand crank machine. It is not a sewing machine but looks like a LOOM/WEAVER. What is it?
I acquired and old primitive device made out of heavy cast iron I believe. Marked on it is " THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CO" and 2 sets of numbers… "F9764597" & "49 K 3". It has hand hand crank wheel and as you turn the wheel a thin piece of metal about 2" long and 10" wide with several slots in it moves back and forth with the cranking of the wheel. Some one told me they used it to make quilts or fabric but were not sure of the actual name of this device. I would like to know what this is called. I can email pictures to any one who might know what this is. I am trying to describe it to sell it on eBay. The whole thing is 14" wide with out the wheel and 12" tall. Here is a link to 2 pictures…

I appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.
Wow! You’ve stumped me! You might need to go somewhere that has more eyeballs than Yahoo answers, such as the patternreview forum or maybe the threads magazine forum. They have lots of experts there who might have some inkling of what your device is.
