All Singer sewing machines have a serial number and a model number. You will need at least one of these to identify your machine.

• Your serial number and/or model numbers should be on a metal plate on your machine. It is found in different places on different models so you may have to search your machine.
• If you cannot find it then you can contact singer and they will tell you where is it located. Check out this link:

• www.singerco.com/contact-us
• If you find the serial number you may be able to find the model number which will tell you the year your machine was made.

Most 20th-Century machines were made in the millions, and most survive in great numbers. In many cases, this will hold down retail value.

It looks like its from the early 1900s, or even before.
