Is this a 99 model or 201 I'm no good at working it out.
Than you anyone qHo helps. |
I want to guess a 99. Most of the 201's I've seen are in tables. But I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination.
|
This is most certainly not a 201. That bobbin winder alone rules out a 201, as it came out after the new style bobbin winder did. There are plenty of other things that rule out a 201 also.
The harder thing to determine is if it's a 99 or a 66, as they are the same machine in the 3/4 and full size models. This appears to be a 99, the head shape is the easiest way to tell, and the angle of the photo does not show it that well. |
Were there any 99s with the large, spoked hand wheel?
|
The early 99's came in treadle and hand crank models - so they had the spoked wheel.
|
My vote is 99. I am not expert either, but the neck looks too short to be a 66.

It's a 99. Look at the face plate. It's flat. The 66 face plate is obviously curved. Once you've seen them together you'll know.
You can also take the serial # and go to: { http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...-database.html }. That will tell you the basic model number, how many were made and when they were allotted. Joe |
201's all have a white light switch on the right hand side.
|
All the 201s I've seen have the tension on the front like the 99 and 66s but the stitch regulator looks like a model 15 with the big circle around the lever. Some 201s also have the light in the front of the machine. The machine in the picture is a 99. The hump on the nose is obvious on a 66 (I just double checked on mine).

Looks like my 99 handcrank.
