Singer with gold medallion, art deco
My mother-in-law left me an old Singer, which has no sign of being electric. It has a vaguely Art Deco decoration, serial number: G9096973. Does anyone know what it is, when it was made?

ISMACS could probably probably give you a lot of info on it. I found out a lot about my mother's old 301A and my Rocketeer that my husband gave me there. Which reminds me I haven't looked up the featheweight yet.

I looked at the ISMACS and found a listing for the serial number, which said that it was from 1910/St. John's, but there was no picture. Thank you Workbench for your listing and link. The machine that someone posted (looking for a slide plate) is exactly what I have, so it's a 1921 Model 66/Red Eye. It's practically frozen, so it needs a lot of TLC. That, and the fact that there is nothing with it other than a needle and a bobbin. Thank you for your information!

Addendum: I looked a bit more and found that the machine came with a hand crank and could be encased in a wooden case, about 3-4 inches high, with other dimensions being about 4 inches bigger than the machine itself.
