The left side of the cabinet has some kind of swing-arm that comes out, I guess to support the opened leaf. Is there another way to confirm the model number? Is the model number on the machine?Īccording to that same site, it looks like the cabinet is #56, the front drawer opens like a bin and has 2 sections. According to that, I think it's a 66 - the serial number was assigned in Nov.

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.Today I received a free old Singer, heavy as an anchor, and I looked up the serial number on the ICS? website (I forget the acronym - the big all-sewing-machine site). Search and see what people are paying for your model/serial numbered Singer sewing machine!!! With your serial number and model number in hand, jump on over to eBay. 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. (Still may be worth some money!)Īfter 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 find that your serial number has a single or two-letter prefix before the number, your sewing machine was manufactured after 1900.If you find that your serial number consists of numbers only, it was manufactured before 1900 (Cha-Ching!).The general rubric for determining which year your sewing machine was manufactured is below: It may have been produced in a different year than the year the first purchase was made. 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. This will tell you when the sewing machine was issued. When you find your serial number, you then crosscheck it with a database on Singer's website. The serial number will be on a metal plate somewhere on your Singer sewing machine.

Ok, now to the meat and potatoes of this article. Finding the model number on some old models is harder and may need some digging. First, I will show you where to find the serial number and crosscheck it with a database to find the year it was issued.

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.
