Chris, I just googled and while that gave another site there wasn't any further info....I guess minor sites might take their info from Singer and/or ISMACS although I'm only guessing.

I have a Singer Capri that is stamped GL-340 and can't find any info other than it is 'early 1963'. There was one for sale on eBay recently and the owner's manual in the photo had L-33 printed on the cover.

Maybe these machines are too 'new'?? LOL

Bronwyn; That's a distinct possibility or possibly shoddy records were kept. I just don't know but it is severely irritating for me anyway. Singer, mostly, kept quite good records so what happened with the later serial #s is just puzzling.
I keep one or more of the experts will chime in here about how to access serial # lists for the ones not already listed by Singer. I may bite the bullet and call the 800 # or use their email. Just don't know, Thanks for your thoughts and help.

Chris :)

Chris, you may have to call Singer as the Singer site only says that NA was a 1951 model.

No 1963 is not 'too new.' The Singer site lists AT - which is 1971. What is the serial number of your Singer Capri?

Nancy,
Thanks for that information. Am giving serious consideration to that option and also asked ISMACS digest roughly the same question about dating her. Hopefully, I can get some help from one site or the other.

Chris let us know if you get an answer. I am guessing the reason the records get muddled is because Singer moved out of the country about then? To Japan? Miz Johnny, Billy is that correct?

G'day Nancy

The serial number is NL 1 272183 That's how it's stamped on the base of the machine with the spaces. GL340 is in a small sticker on the underside and LT-23 is stamped into the metal base.

Thanks

I finally have a picture of my 1910 Singer 66-1 Red Eye. I bought it at the NE-TX TOGA in Greenville,TX 4/8/11.
Her clear coat is totally crazed on the machine bed, kind of looks like aligator skin, however she sews wonderfully! She's a 101 years old.
My oldest functional machine. I have a full set of back clamping feet. I just got the bobbin winder working properly, just needed a new tire for it.

Wow!! how beautiful!! She could live in my sewing room any day. Not that I've tried it, but would the Liquid Gold help the crazing at all (sort of fill the gaps)?
