Probably 66-13 (upon further research)

Upon further research I'm beginning to think that it might be a 66-13. When I was looking to find sub-model for a portable 66 I had, I had come to the conclusion that it was a "-6" but now might have to rethink that. Per http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...al_number.html it list 66-13 as a portable model. Another place that lists the "-13" as being a portable is http://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollect...s/image210.htm I didn't see the 66-8 on the sil.si.edu site.

Seems like I have seen a parts list for the 66-6 but don't remember one for the 66-13. It could be an upgrade, but also looks like it could have been original (except for the bobbin winder tire). The time frame seems to be appropriate for both of the above links.
