One way to always tell a 201 is under the hand wheel, facing the front, there should be a white plastic toggle switch for the lamp. I have yet to find one without the white switch; I'm sure they are out there due to people rewiring and such, but usually it is there.

I have my Mom's 201 and it has 201 and the serial number on the bed just under the gold oval plate on the right side. With the serial number I found out the machine was made in 1956 in NC

Did you buy that 15-91 that was in the painted cabinet with flowers on it? If so was the cabinet as pretty in person???

Hi Dawn, that's an early model 66, with no reverse or backtack.

I don't know which machine it is, but I'd probably have her anyway! But I'm becoming a machine junky!

Looks like my 66.

A 201 Singer has no belt as it is gear driven. The 66 has a belt. I also think its a 66.

Hmm, I have a 1947, it looks similar, but the picture is not all that clear for me to take a close look at it. Have you looked up the serial number to see if it matches any in Singer's 201 catagory. You can also go to ISMACS and get the information.

Yes, I sure did!!! I just took her in for re-wiring today, and a cleaning. Here are a couple of pictures. I really like that cabinet as well. It's in good shape too! Few scratches - but with the kind of finish it has - doesn't look out of place. Flowers are pretty on the front. :o[ATTACH=CONFIG]307288[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]307289[/ATTACH]

I really like that cabinet - I have one like it in miserable condition. Goes to show what can be done with just a little talent!
