i am researching this to try and find date and model number it has a serial number f9498663. one place had 1909 another 1910 to 20 and another had 1924. the lady i purchased it from never used it. it works (excited excited) but need to get a manual for it. oh and it had a can of pounce in it made by keuffel & esser co. the can looks really old.

WOW! I'm trying to close my mouth, but it keeps dropping open in total awe! I don't think I have ever seen a machine that old in such pristine condition. What a great find.

F A N T A S T I C! Very nice. You can download the manuel on the Singer web site for the machine, I did that with my 99K. Congrats. Lucky lady.Maybe you better go out and get a lottery ticket!

Great looking machine!

The rummage sale my mother volunteers at had one just like that donated to them. I was just salivating over it. I thought it was the prettiest thing ever. Too bad it was too far away and was too expensive for me to justify.

You got a great looking machine there!

intoquilting 06-19-2011 01:59 PM

Very nice looking machine. Have fun.

Georgeous find! So happy for you.

caspharm 06-20-2011 08:28 AM

Beautiful! Did you check the Singer website? Also, check with Graham Forsdyke, he deals with old Singers, mainly FW, but he might know about this.

Deborahlees 06-20-2011 09:04 AM

O.M.G what a treasure found....beautiful decal work and that cabinet to die for....I probably would have paid up to $1,000.00 for her....

jljack 06-20-2011 09:26 AM

Yours looks exactly like one I just bought. But mine was made into an electric, and I am going to put it back to treadle as soon as I can. I get it some time this week. Can't wait to see it in person...so far I only have pics from auction.

Mine is a 66-1, and I do not think yours is a 16K..they look very different. Check the serial number you posted. Some of Singer's old records are incorrect, too.

The serial number you posted does come up a 16K made in 1920. But that's not your machine.

You can get some interesting information on you're machine, if you have the correct brand & close year of manufacture, on the Smithsonian Institute's website. I forget the proper address but just google Smithsonian. I have a 1898 Wheeler-Wilson treadle and was amazed at what I found.

cheryl rearick 06-20-2011 12:57 PM

I think you have a very nice fine. GREAT JOB

writerwomen 06-20-2011 01:02 PM

the decaling is refered to as Lotuc or sometime thistle.
One of the nice features is the oversized handwhel which is great for hand turns and fabric rotations.

vickster 06-20-2011 01:47 PM

i checked with singer and it was born bet july and dec 1915 in clydebank scotland model 66k. thanks to all your help and comments.
