The serial # is 3205025 (it doesn't have a letter) and If i'm reading the singer website correctly that means it was issued that number in 1879. But the throat plate says patented usa aug 2nd 92.

Does that change anything billy or is it still a 9W? Also the machine still sews! it moves freely but still badly needs cleaning, especially the cast iron treadle! It's all rust everywhere! What do I use to get it clean? does the treadle get a kerosene bath too?

Go to this thread here and it might shed a little more light on the subject.

vintage I think I found the manual at this website:
