Help Identifying Old Singer Machine
I need help in identifying a machine. It's an old singer that works by turning a crank that looks like a small wheel on the right side of the head. I think the bobbin is called a shuttle type. It looks to be smaller than a regular size machine but bigger than a Featherweight. The serial number is on the front of the machine and either reads 13612744 or 13682744. There are no alpha characters in the number. I would appreciate anyinformation you can share with me. I do not know how to post a picture on the site.

You've got a handcrank, most likely a Model 12, (the list doesn't give model numbers for these years) from 1896. This is providing that the machine is NOT a Singer 9W, but it wouldn't be if it has the shuttle bobbin!

Thank you for your response Charlee. My hubby and I purchased it at a barn sale about 30 years ago. We moved shortly after, it was placed in a storage shead and forgotten about until this week. It needs clean-up but it works really well when I turn the handle.

I was also able to locate the 29-page Instruction Manual for the Singer 66 on the internet and printed it.
