I just received a Necchi 522 from someone, can anyone tell me where I can find details, like how old it is? It looks to be in great shape and runs good.

is there a serial number or patent number on it anywhere?

Congratulations!

Necchi's are wonderful machines, made of metal parts - I have one I've used for years that will sew through almost anything.

Can you post a picture?

There is a serial # on it, is there a website I can input it into?

I am going to try to upload a photo.

Here goes, my first try at a photo. What do think of my new girl?

She is a beauty - congrats
