I see on ISMACS that they list the 66-1 through 1923. One of ours is 1918 but that's the latest that I've seen.
Come over to my house, I have two 66-4s with low shank feet and one 66-1 with the back clamp feet. All red eyes. I think the back clamp feet was discontinued sometime in the early teens.
My 66 machines are dated: back clamp, 66-1 - 1913, and low shank, 66-4s - 1919 and 1924.
Funny thing is I found the back clamp feet and accessories at the LSMG and had them for 4 months or so before we got the 66-1 to fit them last month. Kinda backwards but what the heck.
