just got a 99k serial number 919061- what year is it from- can't seem to find that info. Also got a 301A- serial number. What do use to get rid of the musty smells- I think it is just each case carrying that odor.? Thanks much for any info

Congratulations!

Congratulations on the addition to your family. Enjoy.

if you go to the singer site you can enter the serial#/model # and it will tell you exactly when it was made and where.
my 99K was (born on November 20, 1956- in New Jersey)
you can also down load a manual for you machine-free of charge....mine was 56 pages long- i saved it but only printed off the pages i felt i needed.

I laid a bounty softner sheet on mine and in the case. Took a week or so, but it took care of it. Congratulations on your new machines.

Check out this site for the year: http://www.singermachines.co.uk/faq/...l-number-list/

Good for you

Thanks but everytime I plug in the serial number it comes up blank- It was made in Scotland but that's all I can find out- I've put in the info many ways and no luck- feel like a dummy.

Does it have any letter prefixes? If not it looks as tho' it could be as early as 1889
