Wanting to date it and make sure I am looking at it correctly. Thanks in advance! :D
I recently got fooled by that 0 too. Look at the very bottom of the list of G series machines, and you'll find that they started putting a 0 (zero) in front of the other numbers in 1923.
Thank you very much Dunster. This is the machine I gave to my very sweet DIL. When I was visiting we looked it up and thought it might be a 1911. I have to order a new motor for it I wanted to be sure. :-D
UPDATE: mmm... I looked it and you are right. Funny, Singer went from what looks like 6 digits in the serial number to 7 digits. One could easily be mistaken in thinking that the move included adding the zero way before they got to 9 9 9 9 9 9 9. When in fact, after they got to 9 9 9 9 9 9 9, they started all over again in numbering with 0 0 0 0 0 0 1.
I am sure it made sense to them at the time. :roll:
