2/26/2014 02:57:37 pm Where do I find the model number on a 1930s machine? Is there any way to find out what model a Singer is based on the serial number? 2/27/2014 11:35:57 am Marianne, Identifying a 1930's machine can be a little tricky because Singer like to use the same casting for the head and then put different components on it and call them different models. And they didn't put model numbers on them. It's possible that Singer could answer your question from the serial number, but not a guarantee since they do not have comprehensive records for every factory. The best advice I can give is to visit the following website for a wonderful interactive tool to identify your model: http://www.sandman-collectibles.com/id-singer-machines.htm Hope this helps!
