'CSCS'

Serial Number 16335. Made in 1895

This machine bears the early Jones Rose on the bed of the machine and feathery decals.

It is most likely that this machine was badged for the Co-Operative Society's Chelmsford Star branch (CSCS).

Founded in 1867. It was called 'Star' because it hoped to become a star in the town and seems to have been an important part of the organisation.

The Chelmsford Star branch (CSCS) was one of the 1000+ Co-Ops who would have bought via the CWS, which was the bulk buying/wholesale arm of the co-operative movement.

It was originally called the Co-operative Wholesale Industrial & Provident Society, formed in 1863.

Generally/more usually/later, the Federation/CWS Jones machines had pretty coloured flowers on them and were presumably sold countrywide. Hence, for a branch to have ordered sewing machines from Jones with their own logo they would have had to be pretty large and successful, which the Chelmsford branch was.

'Federation'

A Family sized machine is known as 3/4 sized (whereas a Medium machine is full sized). CS stands for Cylinder Shuttle. Shuttles are not interchangeable with Singer machines due to the different curvature of the arc through which the shuttle swings. Dating information on this and all other Jones models is available from Alan Quinn in the NB Forum.

This style of decal was accompanied by the intertwined CWS decal in the centre of the bed instead of the Federation with gold background.

The decal does not have the teardrops.

From Jones advertising: 'This table was devised to economise space and is therefore suitable for small rooms. Supplied in Oak or Walnut... If desired, a Motor can be added thus converting it to an All Electric Machine.' Machines badged with the name Federation, were sold to the Co-operative Wholesale Society (CWS) for distribution and sale by the various Co-Ops round the country.'

Jones Hand Crank Sewing Machine Serial Numbers For Sale

If you are one of the lucky people that own or inherited an old, antique Singer sewing machine, you may want to know how old it is and how much it is worth!!

Singer sewing machines were first manufactured in 1851, so if you have an older model, you may have a collector’s item on your hand. If you go to eBay, you can check out what people are paying for these old, antique Singer sewing machines.

Some of the prices are over $3000!!! To find out how much your sewing machine may be worth, you need to know it’s serial number and model number. First, I will show you where to find the serial number and crosscheck it with a database to find the year it was issued. Finding the model number on some old models is harder and may need some digging.

How To Date Your Singer Sewing Machine

Ok, now to the meat and potatoes of this article. The serial number will be on a metal plate somewhere on your Singer sewing machine. When you find your serial number, you then crosscheck it with a database on Singer’s website.

This will tell you when the sewing machine was issued. To be clear, just because you bought the sewing machine in a certain year, doesn’t mean that the sewing machine was issued in that year. It may have been produced in a different year than the year the first purchase was made.

The general rubric for determining which year your sewing machine was manufactured is below:

• If you find that your serial number consists of numbers only, it was manufactured before 1900 (Cha-Ching!)
• If you find that your serial number has a single or two-letter prefix before the number, your sewing machine was manufactured after 1900. (Still may be worth some money!)

After you find your serial number, go HERE to the International Sewing Machine Collectors Society website and find out what year your sewing machine was issued.

If you want help with finding your model number, go HERE to ISMACS’ website and they may be able to help you with your model number.

With your serial number and model number in hand, jump on over to eBay. Search and see what people are paying for your model/serial numbered Singer sewing machine!!!

Good luck and I hope you have a gold mine on your hands!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out our article on how to identify singer sewing machine by serial number.
