The Singer is a real beauty.... Several years ago I found one made in 1946
at local yard sale, in cabinet, with all attachments, and in perfect condition.
$45....

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 =)

I've finally learned that when the tension & thread uptake are on the "side" where the face plate is...it's probably a 15. Only know this from lots of help from others here :) :) :) Did you find the serial number? That link should take you to the list that shows the range of serial numbers, date issued, and model that range was assigned to.
