Info on Vintage and Antique Singer machines is difficult to find

I am not into sewing in any shape or fashion, but my husband has found many vintage and antique sewing machines for us to sell.  From my experience Singer is probably the premier brand in sewing machines and they have been manufacturing them since 1851, so I'd say they are the most collectible also. 

I have gathered many useful links for you to find info about your vintage or antique Singer sewing machine.

    I bought my feather weight in 1953 in Amarillo Texas and it is still the one I use for quilting.
    I am looking for a foot that I can use for quilting. One with an
    open ring that moves up and down as you meander around.
