Glenn you said your 66-1 and I remember someone saying that they had a 66-6. I have a 66, how can you tell the difference between and how can you tell what the third number is? Kathie
Kathie the 66-1's were made between 1902 and 1906, have back clamping feet and are treadles.
The 66-6's were made between 1921 and 1931 with side clamping feet and are electric.
There was also a 66-3, hand crank, back clamping and a 66-4 - side clamping treadle. Also, a 66-5 - side clamping hand crank.
The 66-8 thru 66-24 are all side clamping and starting with the 66-14 they had reverse too. I had a chance to get 2 different 66-16's at different yard sales this weekend and passed on both of them. They were both electric of course, very nice - both had all the attachments and manual. I wish I'd of picked one up, but I didn't want another electric 66, I already have a 66-6 I saved! Although, it would be nice to have a 66 with reverse!~
