27 or 28 or ???
I am looking at a Singer machine that is either a 27 or a 28 or a ????, I do not know how to tell the difference.
The serial # is B1244748. Now there is web sites that will tell you when this # was made and I have that. There is also a site that will give you the date that series was allocated and the number of machines in that allocation. I have asked for that link several times from several people and still don't have it. And I'm sure there is a page somewhere that will tell what model that machine is by the number. I don't have that either. I know these pages are there, but try as I might I've been unable to find them. Can somebody please post direct links to these pages? I would really appreciate it. Oh and here the link to the auction I'm watching, what model is this? http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions...e-9471201.html Thanks, Joe |
It's a 27, commissioned on August 1, 1905.
http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...-database.html The high bobbin winder would in most cases, indicate a 127, but this one has been moved/replaced...you can see the mount for the lower winder if you enlarge the pics. The auction machine is actually a 27. |
Charlee,
Thank you. Now I can go in and update the data on my older Singers. Joe |
Charlee,
I think I just found a discrepancy in the serial number date chart you gave me. Singer 66 Red Eye Treadle, serial # AA 069244 (double checked and verified) When I look that number up on the AA page I get this: [TABLE] [TR] [TD]AA- [/TD] [TD] 80201 [/TD] [TD] / 115200 [/TD] [TD] / 15 [/TD] [TD] / 35000 [/TD] [TD] / October 15 [/TD] [TD] / 1924 [/TD] [TD] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] The chart shows this number allotted to the Mdl 15. Now above that several lines is this line: [TABLE] [TR] [TD]AA- [/TD] [TD] 40701 / [/TD] [TD] 75700 [/TD] [TD] / 66 / [/TD] [TD] 35000 [/TD] [TD] / September 23 [/TD] [TD] / 1924 [/TD] [TD] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] If I drop the 0 off the front of my serial number then it would be a 66. Am I blind, cross eyed, reading it wrong or did they make an error? I'm doing all my old Singers and so far they've all been right on except this one. Joe |
Yes Joe, you drop the first zero in the number. The machine is a 66, Sept. 23, 1924.
Question, why would you use AA88021 - AA115200 ? The 88021 is past the 69244.... |
NOT to say there aren't mistakes on the lists...the serial for my 115 comes up as a 25...
|
88021? I typed 80021 ... really, I just looked again for the 4 th time :)
OK, that makes sense I guess. I sometimes take serial numbers literally. If there's a digit on the item I want to see a digit on the chart. Personality flaw I guess. So this follows through with the 99K machines too I'll bet. Back to the charts. Joe |
So...an oops on my part, but doesn't change anything, really. :)
|
Nah, we all make oopsies. Now I'm looking for the date for a 401A. Serial # NA 660348.
Any ideas on that one? Joe |
