Serial number on Singer 66-16
Just purchased a 66-16(?) which had a 66-6 manual with it. The serial number in the lower right corner of the machine does not match for a 66-16. It says it is a 221-1. The serial number is AG 853182. I'm not sure about the A. It is faint on the plaque. From pictures I have compared it to, it is a 66-16. How can a serial number not match a model? Please help with some answers.

granny64,
Just to jump in here with my two bits:
Serial number AG 853182 shows to be a 221-1. 1 of 10,000 allotted 10-25-46. There is a group of 66s indicated in serial #'s AG- 832846 to 847845 on 10-25-46 so maybe your 66 got stamped in the wrong number sequence. Just a thought.
Serial number AC 853182 shows to be a Mdl 66. 1 of 35,000 allotted November 9 - 1929.
Could you post a pic of the machine and a close up of the serial number??
