My new Old Singer
 

How do I find out about my new machine, model # age and how to clean.
Got her today for $20.00 in the thrift store. Merry Christmas to me!

Lucky you, I love my old machines.

Post your request under the Vintage Sewing Machine Shop topic...you will get lots of help there. Congrats on your great find!!

Your picture isn't showing up right now, but I'll check back later and help you with the info you requested if you still need it. :)

nice looking machine. congratulations on your purchase. if you post request on the vintage machine thread someone will help get your machine's info. list the machine's serial number in your post (on the little brass plate at the front of your machine).

Carmanmarie, go to this site and scroll down the side. If you put in the number on the base of your machine right below the pin/wrapper, you will get the information and you can print off a certificate that will tell you it's birthdate. Hope this helps, Haven

What a gem. Have fun getting to know your new baby.

Great find. Did it come with the scrap pin holder? neat idea!

It looks like you have a model 66, a very strong machine and it looks like the decals on the bed are in really good shape! There are a couple of threads here that have tutorials for cleaning these old machines so as not to damage the clear coat or silver the decals. Have fun with it and enjoy the sewing - once it's running, it will sew through your heaviest tasks - making jeans or overalls or slipcovers with ease. :)

Nice machine! Enjoy!
