What a steal - looks like it will clean up good!!!

This is a Singer 66 Red Eye, not quite a full-sized machine.
You paid only $5.00 - WOW!! It may be one that has been converted from treadle to electric.
If you send me the serial numbers, I can date it for you - PM & I'll check it out right away.

Yes, you are correct. The model you have is a 1919, based on the serial number G7394208. 50,000 were allotted on 9/19/1919 - interesting numbers. "Allotted" just means production of that many 66 Red Eye sewing machines began on that date - may have taken months to get the 50,000 made. It was produced in Elizabeth, NJ at the Elizabethport Singer Factory.
I did get my 66 in a treadle base - just what I wanted. You said you wanted a treadle - if you have or can get a nice base, I believe they can be converted back to treadle - I'd check with Billy on this site about that.
Have fun with it - looks like a deal you couldn't pass.

I love it!!!

Follow my tutes on cleaning the machine and you will have it looking like a new one! But your right for $5 you cant pass up a deal like that.

Singer fan group "Treadleon" reccommends using TR3 automotive restorer/refinisher..... no scratching, leaves a hard resin finish. Cleaned my machine like new!

How lucky you are---and for only $5.
