The Singer numbers will not work for other machines. There have been some that have tried to date other machines based on paper work that came with the machines. However, getting a date within 5-10 years is about what can be even close to be expected from non-Singer machines, especially without paperwork included with the machine.

I'm hoping that you have seen https://2spools.blogspot.com/ and looking at the serial numbers that are posted there, I would put your grandmother's machine somewhere in the middle of the 1914-1930 time frame that the two spool machines were made.

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 https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button.

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

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?

Another way to post pictures can be found at 2021/2022, 2.5” Birthday Swap
And how to use an ipad to post pictures can be found at Uploading photos

Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post.
