That model number was allocated June 2, 1909, and corresponds to a Singer Model 66. As far as what it's worth, that's very subjective, and it also varies across the country. You need to decide whether it's worth $75 to you. Things that might influence the price are, is the machine operational? Are the decals in decent condition? What shape is the cabinet in? Then you need to determine what purpose the machine is to serve. Do you want to sew on it? Do you want it to look pretty? Do you want to learn how to restore it? If it is a treadle, and if you want a treadle, then pay particular attention to the treadle mechanism. If the iron is broken, that's a problem. If you want for the machine to be operational, take some fabric and try sewing on it.
