Picture, please!? There were several different versions called "Minnesota A" including was a Minnesota A without an A.
According to

"For instance, there were
five major versions of the Minnesota Model A" (emphasis by me)
Additionally, from my understanding there weren't any company records like Singer had during that time. There are some that have studied and collected info (Bill of Sale or advertisements) about some of them so that they can give an approximate time frame.
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a
file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at

I have found that only the big red
"Reply" button works to give me the
paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.
