66-5 side clamping HC
66-6 1921-31 side clamping electric
66-8 side clamping
66-13 side clamping 1920 +
66-14 side clamping with reverse
66-14 thru 66-24 reverse and side clamping

66 was made between 1902 and 1956

This is what I found out when I was doing all the research on side clamping versus back clamping 66's.

This is where I got this information.

I have two Lotus 66-1 with back clamps; one 1907 and the other 1914. Taken from the Singer site.
Monica, doesn't that fit right in since the back clamping 66's were made until 1923?

Nancy
But she said it's a Lotus, so it's what the ISMACS site calls "Egyptian" and says was made only to 1906. Obviously, not... ISMACS may need to be updated.
