I have an old portable Singer machine that is in a brown & beige case with latches on the side. The handle is marked Singer. The machine is all black no decorative markings and the number that is on a little plate at the front left side reads AM057452. There are some other numbers on the back that read
CAT BZ 15-8
SS AU 52-30-24
Mfg. Elizabethport, NJ
Does anyone know what I have or direct me to a site to find out. I went to one site but the number I have wasn't there..thanks for any help.

Your machine looks to be a Singer model 99 produced in 1955.

You just need to click on the AM Series link to get to your machine`s serial number.

It would be a good idea to match the look of your machine to photos online. Look for photos of the model 99 (can use Google and "images" option to find them) and see if they match your machine. I think there are some errors in the serial # listings for Singer.

Do you think maybe the difference is with the date mfg?
