I have written the serial number down 4 times, with 4 different results, I think it is 10383818. It is hard to distinguish the 3's and the 8's.
Well Buslady it really doesn't matter as far as age goes. A serial number of 9,810,000 to 10,629,999 means it is a 1891 machine. If the serial number is between 10,630,000 and 11,338,999 it is a 1892 machine! Either way it is at least 118 years old!
Please post another picture when it is cleaned up.
