no1jan was looking for a bobbin winder, I found a site that might have one. [email protected] I do not know if the prices are fare or out of line. Billy can answer that for you. Iam always looking for parts. You never know when you might need one, my old machines are tough and really have never neede much. Glenn

Ok. I hope I am doing this right. I am a lurker, love quilts(have several old ones), but have a FW question. Where do I find the serial number for my machine? I know it is made befor 1954, my mom got it second hand and sewed on it all my life, then gave it to me. This question has probably been answered befor, but couldn't find answere.

Hi Patty! Welcome to the board! You're doing it just right, btw! :)

The serial number on your FW should be on the bottom of the machine, and should have two letters, followed by a series of numbers. On machines made in the US, the serial numbers all start with "A". On machines made in Kilbowie, Scotland, the serial numbers all start with the letter "E".

Hope this helps!

Deborah, according to your serial number, this machine is a Model 66, and that number was commisioned on August 27, 1939. :)

OK mine says AL207590. Where do I go to find out about my baby?

They will fit. Most of the low shank Singer attachments will fit all the low shank Singer machines machines. Ask to see a photo of the attachments and email it to me and I can give you a ball park figure as to what to offer.

Dec 12 1952 is the date it was allotted and 50,000 of them were in that run.


Billy

Thank you so much. Now I can tell my girls the date and do more than guess. Thanks again. Patty

Hi Billy,

Wonderful information, I have always enjoyed redoing furniture and cleaning old textiles. Can't wait to find an old machine to play with.

Well I told the guy I would buy the attachments for $30.00. The way the e-mail went I think the machine is also included, not really sure. I want the attachments.
