Nice machine, Mereside!
I have 3 machines, a fancy electronic Pfaff, a New Home Treadle, and a very heavy old "no name brand" that will sew thru 4 or 5 layers of denim that was given to me. Too lazy to get pix today.

Clean little 99 what year is it.
hey Big Jeff - I assume you mean mine. It doesn't have a serial number on it which is interesting. It has a made in Australia badge on it, just not sure of the year.Originally Posted by BIG JEFF
Regardless its a very nice machine having the model number on the front makes me think late 50s they made class 99 until 63 . I have a 1925 #99 knee control in a wooden mail box style case its great for tight edge seams. Hope you enjoy yours

Yes, that style stitch length lever, reverse feature and plastic base (assuming it is original) make this a 99K-31 from the later years of production.
I suspect the pink "S" on the badge may tell us something as well, but I haven't looked into that aspect yet.
Picked up a Kenmore today. Needed a good cleaning and oil. Zig-Zag was froze up, but is repaired now.
So it does have reverse, is that by pushing the stitch length lever up as far as it goes?
yes , raising lever will reverse.
Yes, it was meant to be used as a back tack to lock stitches rather than lengthy reverse stitching.
Cheers - never thought I would be finding out so much about thread injectors when I joined a hammock forum.
