The body was made March 27 1950 according
ismacs. It's the later version of model 66 which were given a reverse lever, or backtak. It's a smooth running machine, very nice to work on. Model 66 was introduced in 1900 as the first with a horizontal drop-in bobbin case, and was Singer's top model for years. These cabinet's were fitted with various type knee controllers, some were of a clamp type where a foot pedal was inserted; in other words it could convert between knee lever and foot pedal. Other's had a type of fixed knee controler. It's a nice machine in a very nice cabine't. Cleand oiled and checked it will sew through anything you can fit under the presser foot. In that particular cabinet and with the hand smaller solid hand wheel you can be sure it was fitted with motor and light to start with.
