What did I buy?
Please help! My husband bought me matching singer treadle machines in cabinets off craigslist and am now trying to figure out exactly what we have. One cabinet included a brochure for a 15, but the machines are both red eyes (and in amazing condition - completely untouched at this point). More mysterious is that the serial numbers appear to have too many digits and I can't read any letters in front. I know that Singer didn't make machines with serial numbers in the 80-millions. I have scoured the internet trying to solve this mystery. Any ideas about what we bought and when they were made would be much appreciated.

I have no idea about this serial number anomaly. It has been discussed before, however. Singer 66 Red Eye Serial Number.

Interesting. I’m new to the board.
What I find odd is that I got 2 that are mislabeled. I thought about a counterfeit but it seems like a lot of effort to go through for $35 in cabinet.
I love the machines. Was just curious about their history.
