Wow, I wonder if no letter means your machine is older or newer than mine? What does the slide plate say? There should be some dates on the slide plate. My last patent date is May, 1913.

I found a website that gives a little information on the Free Sewing maching company. There were several different styles made. I didn't see anything about how to date using serial numbers, though.

I could be wrong but singer site lists serial number 827313 as made in 1871. Is that correct, anybody?
