Jean, I am not sure who you are addressing this question to, but I think my machine is a 1950's machine. Singer made the toy machines from about 1910 to the 1950's, then resurrected them in the 70's for a short time. The machines from the 70's were more modern looking with enclosed parts. Starting in about 1922, Singer numbered the thread guides. My machine has numbered thread guides so I know it was made between 1922 and the 1950's. By the picture on the box I'd guess the 1950's - besides there are two other people on here who have the same machine with dates of 1953.
