Oh man I already put away the camara but here is a link to one that looks just like it.

Scroll to the middle of the page. The one that has the description "Model 27 from 1895". The top is called a "coffin top" :shock:
I already dated mine to Sept 30 1901. The serial number was easy to read and I tracked it on Singer's website
