The date of the tables cannot be determined by the serial number posted underneath the table. Even the actual machines dating becomes a problem in many cases. The tables were constructed by various assigned makers and it is a sort of a mystery to me that there even was a number under them except to cross ref. back to a builder for quality control.
I have completed a study of the tables in the Vintage Singer Yahoo site.
