Serial number G8352676 (see page 31) is a model 66 with a production starting date of 8-25-20.
Serial number G0091501 (see page 37) is a model 66 with production starting date of 5-28-1923.
Serial number G4484745 (see page 17) is also a model 66 with a production starting date of 2-24-16. You needed to be much further down the list. It is a very common mistake to stop looking too soon on the G serial numbers. You looked at the 6 digit numbers instead of the 7 digit numbers. This machine was made in Elizabethport, NJ not Germany. German serial numbers start with a 'C' if I remember correctly.

No, I'm not planning to do fmq with a treadle, just piecing if the power goes out.
I'm considering what I think is a Singer Model 66 treadle (serial number G8352676. Is that a Model 66-1? On ISMACS I couldn't find serial numbers for machines made in Germany, and doesn't that "G" in the serial number mean it was made in Germany? Maybe because the Russians took all the Singer machinery and destroyed all the records? I have so many questions!)
I'm also considering a Singer treadle with the serial number G0091501, which I believe was also made in Germany and is a Model 16 machine (2,000 made, Jan. 8, 1910. Am I right or wrong?).
Lastly, there's a Singer treadle which the seller says is a Model 66, from 1916. This one confuses me because the serial number is G4484745, and when I found that number, I see Model 44, 5,000 made April 20,1910. I haven't phoned this seller yet...
confused.
Again, appreciate any help here!
