    For sale a nice Singer sewing machine , early model
    66 , heavy duty,not a hand crank,"Red Eye" decal, from 1920 serial #G8166395.

    I can't verify if the serial number is what they say it is. Can anyone find any other errors in this listing?

    "Slide plate obviously missing", "Machine is domestic, not heavy duty"
    I think that people say "Wow! This is heavy" and think "Hmm.. the word 'duty' seems to flow nicely after that, so I'll add it".
