Also any tips on cleaning it and how to oil it? I don’t want to make the decals rub off. How do you know where it was made? I did get all the attachments and the cabinet. And the attachments are in a wooden really neat fold out box.
Any information or sites to research would be welcome.
As I understand what Janey said, the one pictured is a 66-1 because it has back clamp feet. That's the style of feet (pressure foot, etc.) that she saw in the photo.
I just looked yours up on the
ismacs list. It says it's a Singer model 31. You'll have to wait on Janey to interpret that information.

edit: there are some errors on the Ismacs list. You'll have to post a photo to get a good answer.
