I found this beauty on Craigslist. I paid $30.00 for her, she's a bit worn in places. The info I have on her is, she is a Singer Model 66 "Red-eye" Serial number G3351755 circa 1910.
A few attachments were in the drawers, and tons of buttons. I have a to re-glue the knobs on and give her a coat of lemon oil to moisturize her cabinet. It also came with an extra belt too.As you can see , she is missing her cover for the bobbin.

It looks like you have yourself a bit of work ahead of you but you do have a nice machine!!! And the cabinet looks like it will clean up very nicely.

The bobbin plate can be picked up at any local sewing machine repair shop or Singer dealer.
