Great find! Just bought a new belt for my 1935 Singer treadle for only $27. She runs like a dream.

It is a 66-1 with lotus decals. I have one made in 1908 Prussia and I use it to piece my quilts. it is a wonderful machine and cabinet is in good shape. I would clean the machne and use it. Glenn

Thank you! What fun! On this one, the serial # is on the lower right of the base. She was "born" on Aug. 6, 1907. I think I'll name her Emma:)

Our local machine repairman will probably get a kick out of working on it! I looked it up, and it is from August 1907 (USA)

Billy in the vintage sewing machine shop on this board can get bobbin cover and belt. You can get a belt at any singer sewing machine stores. Glenn

Thanks! I think I have a little box with notions somewhere, including the bobbin holder.

Wow! Yours is in mint condition! Mine was obviously used a lot! The printing is worn off on the front, probably from taking it in and out of the cabinet so often.
