I think that will put it at 1910, my machines number is not far off from yours and its a 1910 and its a Singer casting.

I must be confused on how to find the number. I went to the no letter prefix and found my number to be in the 1879 group. What am I doing wrong to miss the date so far? thanks
Singer never recorded the 9W numbers or if they did they were lost in the mix. Issac Singer was the type not to waste anything at all and that is how the 9W came around. The reason he had the engineers recast the machines was so that they would fit the standard Singer treadle cabinet. Before they had to use all of the left over W&W cabinets and when they ran out of parts they just kept on until they realized it was not selling as well as the 66 and 15.
