The best and easiest to navigate is Sandman Collectibles’ online Singer identification guide. Luckily, a quick search online yielded several resources that helped me narrow down my Singer’s model number. But I also wanted to find out the model number–which at first I thought would be a far more difficult proposition. It’s nice to know my sewing machine was manufactured in 1907. Thanks to Singer’s recent 160th anniversary celebration, I was able to pinpoint my antique machine’s model year by entering its serial number into Singer’s online database. Perhaps someday I’ll refurbish it, and when that happens, it will be important to know a little more about the machine. My flat screen TV usually lives on top of the Singer cabinet, so I look at it every day. Several parts are missing, it’s not in great shape, and it’s basically non-functional–but it still is a wonderful piece of family memorabilia, and I love having it in my home. I had no idea when it was manufactured or its model number. Several years ago, I was given an antique Singer treadle sewing machine that has been passed down through my family for a few generations. Oct 2022 edit: Just watched it again after almost 10 months, I enjoyed it even more this time, knowing how the whole story would play out.My 1907, treadle-operated Singer sewing machine. My wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library. Some of it was fictionalized, but the core of the story is factual. A really well made and entertaining movie, Margaret Qualley is excellent in the Joanna role. At one point 5 or 6 of them are all on the train with her. One of them Joanna even talks to at times. Some of the Salinger letter writers were visualized as real characters. It isn't a dry account at all, we enjoyed that it contained a nice amount of whimsy. Her job with the agency lasted most of the year 1996, eventually she was to write her memoir "My Salinger Year" and this movie is made from that. Eventually this resulted in her talking to Salinger, who they just called 'Jerry', by phone and receiving some advice and inspiration from him.
Salinger, the gem of the agency's clients.
One of her tasks was to open and read letters to J. So she had to constantly underplay her writing side. But the job she was interviewing for, with a literary agency, didn't really want young writers, they wanted someone to assist the female boss and if successful might become a literary agent some day. Joanna was studying to hone her literary skills, her ambition was to be a writer.
