A word of caution when looking up serial numbers is be sure to check all the digits. Frequently people will just look at the first few digits and think that is their machine. Another way to check Singer serial number can be found at one of these apps

And the browser version:

Also, if the machine was made in Kilbowie it would be 96K41, if it just has 96-41 on the plate, I'm fairly certain that it would been made in Elizabethport USA.
