You all did good! Happy for you.

Great find! Congrats and have fun sewing with with these wonderful vintage machines.

What a deal! I think your Singer oil can is probably worth more than $20. Congrats!! :thumbup:

Wonderful machines. I have one like the black one, It belonged to my mother

Nice...great prices//

Quite a find. Lucky you.

I recently procured a Free Westinghouse off of Freecycle - for free! - with cabinet. It works like a trooper. I hope you enjoy your great find.

Before we got to this post, my DH told me it was a 15-91. We collect old Singers and I think they are beautiful. We just haven't found any great deals like you did. Congratulations. You will enjoy.

If you haven't already, you may want to check the Singer serial number here: http://www.singerco.com/support/serial_2letter.html I'm fairly new at identifing the vintage Singers, but that might be a Singer 15 rather than a 66. I just got one from a friend & will be using it for my FMQ machine, partly because you can lower the feed dogs on the 15. (Don't know about that on the 66)

I went to the site, at first i thought it was a 176 but when i found the book yea, no...I am almost positive that it is a 66 if i am looking at the numbers correctly. Now i have to find out what Free Westinghouse i have. Funny thing is that the repair guy told me to scap the Free Westinghouse, because it is a pain machine..I think it is beautiful. I think it was made around the 20's, which means even if i never sew on it, it is almost a 100 years old and is a great addition to my sewing (soon to be) room.
Edit- i stand corrected, it looks identical to the 15-91 thank you for pointing it out to me =)

btw...that little oil can is a jem...my FW didn't come with the oil can and I'm always checking ebay for one...the FW case has a little place at the bottom for one that snaps in...good find
