Janice that machine is one of the reproductions made in Taichung, Taiwan. They started making the ND to NY machines in 1963, but I'd bet that machine is much newer - like in the 1980's. Those repro's, where they tried to copy the original
decals, are kind of gaudy looking. Besides, the machine is not the workmanship/quality of the original.

Nancy, I'm confused on this one. I think the "motor number ... E143658" quoted in the ad is a typo and should be "model number". If that's the case then this is a Singer but model numbers starting with "E" have been lost. I think I'll send them an email and ask for verification.

Jan, no, the NL or whatever it was is the serial number...I don't know what that number on the motor is, but it's not the serial number. The SN is NEVER on the motor, it's always stamped on the machine itself.
