It was made in 1924. DH is shocked. He asked how much I was going to sell it for... I said SELL IT???? He likes it too.

Yes the decals are in wonderful shape. I oiled the machine last night - I'll oil/grease the irons tonight maybe. It is a lot of work to treadle.

Miriam,
That IS a beautiful machine. Next time I'm over there I'd love to see it.

Thank you guys!! Very helpful, I got it out finally. I was trying to get it out for a long time last night I got so frustrated and after reading the tutorial I got it out in no time.

Miriam, are you sure you don't want to sell that Lotus 66? 
That is one of the purrrrtiest 66's with the lotus decal I have seen! Lucky you! Congratulations! I need to move to your part of the country, but I don't like snow either!
Bianca, nice crinkle 66 or is it a 99, which is basically a 3/4 size 66? They sometimes call that machine a Godzilla! Anyway, Singer did limited productions on Model 66, 99, 128, and even some 221 with a crinkle finish. You won't have to worry about messing up the decals when you use that machine, and it will be a work horse for sure! Congratulations! Oh, and the bobbin sitting next to your machine looks like a class 15 bobbin, which won't work on a 66 or 99. You need class 66 bobbins.
