Members dikman Posted August 23, 2018 Members Report Posted August 23, 2018 So according to that chart my 51W59 was made before 1940 and the 111WSV77 in 1946 (that's assuming that the WSV's were included in the same numbering scheme, which I figure is most likely). By my reckoning that makes the W59 probably 80 years old at least. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Members shoepatcher Posted August 24, 2018 Members Report Posted August 24, 2018 I have one of those charts as well. I believe any Singer with the W in the model number was made at their plant in Bridgeport, Connecticut which I believe was the old Wilson& Wheeler plant. glenn Quote
