<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 4542784, member: 360&quot;]Sewing machines motors were very common. They were mass-manufactured both to go with new machines, but also to go with antique machines which people wanted to upgrade from manual to electric. </p><p><br /></p><p>As such, they were just pumped out - and not just by Singer - every company that made sewing machines also made spare motors. Apart from knowing that it&#039;s an original Singer piece, I can&#039;t tell you much else. I&#039;m not aware of any dating methods for motors. </p><p><br /></p><p>The 66 was a VERY common sewing machine - I have one of them myself. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mine is a much older, Edwardian-era model, ca. 1910-ish, but as I said before, the machine was manufactured for years - decades, even. </p><p><br /></p><p>Singer motors (and electrically-driven machines) started coming out in the early 1920s - 1921 or 1922, if I remember rightly. But the transition was very slow. Singer kept making hand-cranked and treadle-machines right up until the 1950s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
