I have trouble with left and right some days. Have you ever noticed that some Singer throat plates have arrows on them??? I sort of wish they all did. I guess a magic marker would do the trick...

The other alpha numeric group is probably the serial number.

I've always wanted one of the 7 Jewel and 21 Jewel Monty machines. Very nice.

Sorry, I typed in my own language. I call a Montgomery Ward machine a 'Monty' and the 7 Jewel and 21 Jewel machines are two different models with the MW badge.

Monty makes sense now. What does the 7 jewel and 21 jewel mean?
Sorry I'm dense.

Hmm, saying Monty is quicker than Monkey Wards which is what I grew up hearing. Love that blue machine.
