Hi everyone,
I just bought a Singer 99 hand-crank machine (thanks to a member of our Colorado vintage machine group) and I can't figure out how old it is. The serial number seems to be F716xxx, which according to the ISMACS site should be a 15K.
This is definitely a 99. I thought it might be an E rather than F but there aren't any E machines without a second letter.
Ideas?

F716XXXX is a 99K, check to make sure you have the correct number of digits. That one would be from 1916.
This throws a lot of people off, they look for F716. . . and stop when they get there, not realizing that it goes from
F 000,000 to F 9,999,999. Which means you'll find F 716,XXX and F 7,16X, XXX. It's even worse with the G series.
