My first thought was also 478, although the high 400s all look very similar so it could be a 467. Does it have "stylist" anywhere? My daughter's 498 is identical except it has a free arm. Good enough machines but reverse buttonhole stitch stops working if the plastic reverse button isn't greased occasionally, and this can't be fixed. Also has the dreaded plastic gear, which is replaceable but annoying if you're in the middle of a project when it suicides. I experienced all of this, hopefully all is now good.
Year seems wrong. Singer didn't produce this type of machine until 1968.
