      In the second pic under the M.R. is a plate that gives you the machines serial number.Use this link to find out the year of issue from Singer Company.

      The serial number you show is only to the motor. BTW she is a beaut...I believe but not sure she is a Model 128. Hope this helps !

      That link doesn't seem to be working...try this one .

      Yes it is a 128. It's possible that this machine won't be one from the Kilbowie or Elizabethport factories, which are the only machines that can be dated by Singer's database. The M.R. seems to indicate it's from one of the other factories. The St Jean motor is the other factor. If the serial number starts with J and another letter, all you can get is a range of years.

      But it does have a Centennial Badge - so it was made just prior to 1951. :) Singer were stockpiling various models for up to 2 years going by these machines and the serial numbers that often show 1949 and 1950 - that may be the closest you can get to a date. It would be easy to convert this machine to a hand crank if you wanted to.

      So does it have a JC serial number?
    6. Bernadette Bernadette, 11 years ago
      The JC series spans 1948 to 1954 so spot on for a Centennial machine which was in 1951. As I said above, Singer were preparing machines with these badges just prior to 1951 to have plenty of their specially marked centennial machines on the shelves.
