That 25,000 number means how many serial numbers for that model were authorized on THAT DATE only. There were many hundreds of thousands of the 66s made over the years. That is just one day that serial numbers for that model were issued, and that's how many on that day only. :-)

She looks just like the one I learned to sew on, probably a sister ;). That's a great machine that will just keep on stitching away.
