We will be calling Singer on Monday to get actual birth date. 
Congatulations, you have a very pretty Sphinx allotted on June 17, 1902, a model 27 - note the low bobbin winder placement, if the bobbin winder had been higher by the hand wheel it would be a 127!
I love the cabinet too, it looks like it is in great shape!
