But, would any of you know of another site that would have the accurate date for this one? I figure it was made in Scotland and perhaps the information might not be as accurate as the stuff made in the US?
The Singer lists do have errors and not just for Kilbowie machines. I don't think that has anything to do with it. My theory is that somewhere between the time a set of numbers were first designated and the time that production actually began a change in model was made and didn't get properly recorded before the production started. We'll never know.
