There are no alpha characters in the number. I would appreciate anyinformation you can share with me. I do not know how to post a picture on the site.
I have a 1913 Treadle 66 Model Singer, that belonged to my great paternal grandmother. I called the Consumer Affairs Division of the Singer Company and gave them the Serial # and within a couple of minutes they told me it was made on Aug 27, 1913 in Elizabeth, New Jersey! The phone number I called is 1-800-474-6437. Best of luck to you. I would love to know if you find out anything amount your machine!
I was also able to locate the 29-page Instruction Manual for the Singer 66 on the internet and printed it.
