See the round metal lever next to the purple felt? If yours has that, it has the bobbin case.

Ok looking at my picture (before dusting!) it seems to me to be the same, so that just means it has a bobbin? There was a bobbin included. And, does that mean it is a model 66, or are there other models like this?

I've been to the Singer site several times trying to find a place to put in the serial number, and I just cannot find it.

Singer has changed their site, and the easy look-up of serial numbers is either gone entirely or moved to a place where it's hard to find. You can print out a useless certificate that tells you a little information from this site - http://mysingerstory.com/

Edited to say - you can't easily navigate to this page, but it is the old information about serial numbers. If you lose this link you can get to it by typing "serial #" in the search box on the singerco.com page, and then taking the link that says "machine serial numbers" . Note this is now filed under "admin-support" instead of customer support. huuummmph.

Thank you for that, I cried when I found it, I've never seen one at a garage sale, and it reminded me so much of the loving times spent with my grandmother I just had to have it, even if it did not belong to her. I am so hoping my granddaughter will learn to love to sew and use it ....

OH You're The Best, thank you so much I've discovered thanks to you that I have a Model 66, made in Elizabeth, NJ July 28, 1927, one of 50,000 made. I couldn't be happier that it was made in the USA. Thank you

You will need to unscrew the bobbin case for that. The red felt that is in the case can be "unscrewed" for cleaning of the metal parts then screwed back in. You do have to twist it in or it will just fall back out. The felt is the part you oil for the race to work smoothly. Have fun! Just know that you have embarked on another addictive journey!

Thank you to all who have helped me. I just put in the 1st 45 minute session with Restor-A-Finish and she is looking sooo beautiful. Found a 'free' download manual, what is the difference between them and the $15 one ?
