how to identify old singers

[tardis86]

Say im looking for a Singer 45k or something? how do i identify it? all i typically see are serial numbers. and the machines all look pretty much the same to me.

 

thanks!

Sometimes you can lookup a Singer serial number and it will tell you the model number and how many were built on a particular date.

they have a oval data plate with Class and Subclass. Like 45K89 - 45K is the class and 89 is the subclass.

I thought you heard an old song and were trying to figure out if it was Dean Martin, or Perry  Como.

LOL - I had to restrain myself from posting something similar! Oh, what the heck we all need a laugh!

Maybe by the way their voices crack on the high notes?
