Singer sewing machines have a long and rich history, dating as far back as 1851. These beautiful machines have evolved over the years but are still standing the test of time. Some of the older models are highly sought after by collectors and sewing enthusiasts. If you’ve nabbed one of these beautiful bargains at a local market, it’s worth identifying the age and model of your machine. You might have picked up a rare antique.
Whether you want to pick up one of your own older models because you love the history, aesthetic or nostalgia of the piece, they’re easily still found on the market if you know what you’re looking for. So, how old is my Singer sewing machine? To identify when a model was made, you need to first find the Singer sewing machine serial number. It’s near the on/off switch on newer machines, and on the front panel or on a small plate on older machines.
Once you’ve found the number, match it to the date in our chart to discover the age of your machine
Why do Singer Sewing Machines have Serial Numbers?
Singers have always been marked with serial numbers ever since production began. Each number is corresponding to a model from a certain date, and even location. All Singer sewing machines up until 1900 have no letter prefix, and came from all around the world. The Singer company eventually managed their production from all their factories to match up with the serial number flow.
How to choose a valuable model
The first thing to look for if you’re after a collector’s Singer machine, is the age of the item. Over 100 years old is considered an antique, and younger than that is ‘vintage’. By matching the serial number to the corresponding date, you can determine the exact age of the machine.
Quality also plays an important part in the value of the model. As expected, high quality, functioning machines are more sought after than damaged ones and tend to be a better option. Machines that don’t function at all may not be worth collecting. However, if you find a damaged machine that can be repaired, it may still be a worthwhile purchase.
From a collector’s viewpoint, there are a select amount which are valuable enough to be classed as real collectors’ items. This includes any of the machines that come with their own table, blacksides which have a black instead of polished finish, and the vintage 221 and 222 Featherweight models. These rare models can fetch around £500 or even more, if they’re in perfect working order.
The History of Singer Sewing Machines
The Singer brand is synonymous with being the best in the business. After opening a local factory in Glasgow, in 1867, the machines were flying off the shelves. Popularity only grew and factories opened worldwide. By World War 2, the Singers were actually producing guns and bullets as a priority to sewing machines. They only continued making those in their spare time. Isaac Singer was the founder of the company, and the first to create treadle powered, belt powdered and eventually electricity powered sewing machines. Isaac Singer boasts a unique story, and was a pioneer of the sewing industry. Funnily enough, with an ‘enthusiastic’ approach to women, Isaac even hired female demonstrators to disprove that women were too incompetent to work a machine. This enthusiastic approach to women continued into his private life, where he had a total of 24 children!
Designs Throughout The Years
Singer treadle sewing machines are one of the most popular Singer antiques. They are still found in auctions and antique dealers today. These older machines were made of heavy duty components and replaceable parts. So they are still used, and are incredibly long-lasting. A treadle sewing machine is powered by a foot pedal, and runs mechanically by the user pushing back and forth on the pedal. A reliable, eco-friendly machine, many sewers still prefer to use this type of model today.
The design has naturally changed over the years with advances in technology. Electric motors and bolt-on lights were introduced to the machines in 1921. The treadle tables gradually faded away to chunky box bottoms in the 1930s. Use of new materials throughout the 20th century made the design sleeker and lighter, and allowed for new functions to be introduced.
Today’s Singers
Today’s machine can cost from as little as £85 up to £1300, depending on the functions and type of machine. But why is Singer so popular? It’s not only due to the rich history, but the fact that they cater to all sewing needs. Singer has a reputation for creating innovative machines. They were the first to ever introduce electric, zigzag and electronic machines which were targeted to the home sewing market. Offering affordable machines with a multitude of features which are readily available, made them likely the most popular brand out there.
Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, want an electronic or a mechanical machine, work with embroidery or patchwork, there’s something for everyone. Every model has a unique range of useful functions such as automatic needle threaders and even LCD screens, which is part of what makes the brand the go-to for sewers.

The Singer history is fascinating. Great to find a chart! My model is AD181298 and is written in French. This number doesn’t come up on your chart, but it’s between 1900 and 1942 I guess?
1930 is your machine made in Elizabethport new jersey ad181298 is actually the serial number
I’m sorry but I do not understand your chart. My serial number begins with a G and then seven numbers, I don’t see that on your chart. I see GA but no G
Any assistance that you could give me would be much appreciated. I need to find an owners manual and a new cord.
Thank You

I picked up an old singer at a odd and ends shop. The serial number, which is located on the top under the gold Singer emblem. I do not see it on your chart. The number is AD745900. Is that the serial number and if it is could you tell me the age? It is in beautiful and looks similar to the model on your website above, the one with the red fabric.
Thank you
I have an old Singer serial # ADC 62518, motor # 48 8013, 100-110 volts 0.6AMP, DC 7 25 to 75 cycles, Catalog B.U.7–E. It is in a cabinet with a knee bar used to run the motor. It is NOT a treadle. I would like to give it to a young girl to use. Is it possible to have it fixed to running order? We have a singer store close to us but I thought I would do some research before I sent it in to them. I assume they will tell me they can’t fix it. Thank you!
I cannot find my serial number on your chart. My serial number is

I don’t see a serial number group for my antique singer sewing machine on the chart. The serial number for my machine is H455110. Would you be able to tell me the age or how I can identify the age and possible it’s value? It is in excellent condition with everything there; attachments and accessories, instruction booklets, bobbins, etc.

You say that before 1900 the Singers didn’t have a letter prefix. I have found an old black finish treadle machine with the serial number B752696. I am trying to learn more about it. Where would you suggest I go to learn more?
Thank you for your article.

Hi Melody, really interesting read, thank you! Age chart very useful too except that my machine doesn’t start with any of the letter prefixes suggested – begins with a single Y then 7 numbers… does this mean it’s pre-1900 or just a random one that slipped through in the 1900’s? Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you
I have a singer sewing machine with a serial number on a plate, which would indicate that it is older. However, the number is preceded by the letter G. Using the chart, I could not determine the age. Could you help me out?

I am trying to estimate how old my grandmother’s Singer sewing machine is but did not see the same model in the pictures. Model # JA381183 appears to be 1924. It seems to be a portable machine with a curved wooden box cover. The other distinguishing note is the metal bar that fits on the right side of the machine to start and stop. It is controlled by the operator’s leg.
es de 1926
Hello and thanks for the useful, no, brilliant information. !! I collect old Singer machines and the clones here in France…Interesting hobby for an old engineer.
I have been told that the K on for example 19K comes from the plant at Kilmarnock in Scotland. No sure about this but as you say machines were made in Scotland.
Machines here in France are generally clones, but there are many very old French makes.
Thanks once again for all the info and taking the time to put it all together

Thank you for this nice blog on the Singer sewing machine. I hope you can help — I have an old Singer I just love, only I can’t identify the model and I don’t see the listing in your chart. I looks almost exactly like the one at the beginning of your blog (with the red thread and red material), but you didn’t list the model. Mine is electric and has reverse sewing with a number plate: G4661343. Engraved on the bobbin plate are several patent dates, the last one is June, 14, 1910.
I’m so excited because my mom surprised me & had my grandmother’s treadle sewing machine cabinet refinished. It is gorgeous! As a young girl I remember being intrigued by it. Grandma Ingrid would let me pump the pedal & I’d play with her spools of thread & fabic swatches. I’ve been wondering how old it actually is and would like to refurbish the sewing machine itself. I did Google the serial # (G0123537) and I think it was manufacturered around 1940, but I’m not sure. I’d love to learn more about its history, get “her” manual & find out how to get her functioning again! The more I look at it and discover new things about it, the more excited I get. “She” seems to be coming alive! Any suggestions about how to get her refurbished?
“She” lives in Northwestern Minnesota & is happy to be out of the shed & into a new home!
Hi, I just found out that my Singer sewing machine I inherited from my late mother, was manufactured in 1937 and that makes it 81 years old now, but still rocking it.
Unfortunately I had to attached a motor to run it electrically since I’m already 65yo, and paddling it tires me a lot.
Hope it’ll go on rocking for another 81 years..

I have a friend who just received an old treadle Singer sewing machine from her brother (it was her Mother’s) and she would like to know more information about it if we can find it. It is in beautiful condition. Thank you so much for any help you may provide!
Bought in 1963 ish, I have an electric Singer machine that works with a knee bar rather than a pedal. Does anyone know about these? Are they rare? Do they have value? Last time I tried it it worked but it is too heavy for me to lift it now.
My machine has a knee bar. My mother bought it in the UK in about 1944. Wooden cover/lid, works well. I remove the heavy wooden lid before I lift it.

I have an old Singer sewing machine and I found a number 15876707 is that the serie number?
Hi Melody,
I have a Singer Sewing Machine that I know for a fact was made between 1851 and 1870. I have a file with the serial numbers and since the logs were lost between those years, I know my number is from those years. The serial number is 00491203. The research I did shows if there are no letters in the serial number you can be sure it was manufactured prior to 1900. Just curious of what you think I should do.

I have a vintage Singer Sewing Machine. The Serial # on the plate of the machine does not match any in your company’s online “chart”. Why would that be the case? I need to
replace a bent broken needle. Singer customer service said all needles are universal and will fit my machine…no matter its age. I ordered what she recommended from Amazon.com. I hope it works when it comes by mail. I’m in the middle of a sewing project. There are no local stores to search in my area.

I’ve been searching the web but had no luck So was hoping you could help me with some sites that might be able to provide me more information about my machine.

Maybe you can help. I bought an old Singer sewing machine as deskmodel. Not these ones mounted in a desk and driven by feet. It is driven by a crank. Now I found your table of the production year where you told that the old machine serial numbers started without a letter. But mine has the following serial number: V616882
Do everyone will have an explanation on that?
Many thanks for each hint in advance.
I have on old treadle machine with the serial number B457451 which looks to be hand stamped. I didn’t see this series on your chart. Also, on the plate that covers the bobbin are several patent pending dates. The latest is Jan 1891. It is black with gold lettering and gold symbols. One of the symbols appears to be like an Egyptian Spinks.

I have a Singer woodworking machine with the words Singer Hobbies in big letters wrote across the side of the treadle, the machine has a lathe & a saw. The metal treadle is roughly twice the size of a Singer sewing machine, I read Singer made these machines in the States years ago before they branched into sewing machines.
We like the metal treadle & will convert the machine into a metal sink base if there is no value in it, if anyone has any info on these old machine called they let me know.
Thank you Kim

The Cabinat has a stamp saying “COMPAGNIA SINGER – MILANO” COLLAUDO MOBIL! MACHINE PER CUCIRE DATED 18 OTT 1962 AND A NUMBER SAYING 7996. There are various numbers on the machine 1. 199297

3. 172028
4. 161608
5. 1706 506? Do not know which is the serial number
It’s a beautiful caninet. The Top cover opensout and the bottom door rests under it and the machine pulls out to sit upright. with a foot movement and an electric power from socket from side of the machine.
I am trying to find out the age of the machine and what it might cost, if you can kindly tell me.

My singer sewing machine I cannot find the age all I have is this number can any one please help the model number is14414935.
I have been using my grandmothers singer treadle machine most of my life. I love it! Model #H580838. I’m curious as to what it’s worth. It’s in perfect working condition with all the original parts.
I inherited what looks like a 99K Singer, # Y1590420. It has “Great Britain” on the very top (where you run the thread through) to the left of the usual “The Singer Sewing Company” label on the top of the machine. I think it was bought in Canada by the mother of my mother-in-law. Can anyone help with information on the date of manufacture & # that were made? Thanks!
I have a Singer treadle sewing machine number Y9194199. Can u help with age please ? Nancy
I found one today in a charity shop and managed to buy it for £35 pounds. It’s model number is B1294860. I think this comes up as 1904 on the chart. On it, I believe it says USA underneath the big manufacturing title ok the top. Some black paint has come off and the beautiful design has worn off in many parts. It appears to be fully functioning and it has its big lid/cover. Amy ideas how much I can sell it for? Much appreciate the help.
Thank you for this article. I have the serial number K-9821076. There are K ranges in your list from the 1900s but they dont exceed 2000000. Your list does refer to a range of KY numbers dated 1959. The style of K-9821076 could match the year 1959, but isn’t a perfect match because there is no Y in the serial number. I wonder if anyone knows anything about these mid-century K units.
I have a Singer EB 666158 and cannot find a date of manufacture can you help.
Regards John
We are trying to date a Singer treadle sewing machine, serial number 13608M, made in Great Britain. The reference chart only shows letters at the front of the serial number. We are confused. Any help appreciated. Thx.

1927. Highly recommend googling ‘international sewing machine collectors’ society’ (ismacs). If you go to the dating section under singer they have a comprehensive singer serial number chart so you can double check
I have searched to find the year my Singer Sewing machine was made. SS no. is AU52-36-1. I bought it in the 60’s and need to get it fixed as it is the best sewing machine I have ever had. It is a Singer 319W2. Every chart I find does not have the AU Serial numbers.
Can you help tell me the year?

Hi – I am looking at my Mum’s old singer treadle machine in a wooden case. Its registration number is Y9095892. I can track the date to 1933 but how do I find out anything more about it? Many thanks
My wife’s Singer machine has a serial number that I am not seeing in previous discussions. It is J1559424. It was from Great Britain and was passed down from her mother in the early 1960s.
Any idea of the age of the sewing machine?
my mother have this machine
NL-K 1287090 if you please confirm the making year and originally
Can someone help with the age of my singer? I think the number is c 40771071. I found another number but looks like the model #. I’m hoping this is from the 1950’s. Thank you!
Hi
I have a Singer Seamstress Serial no A48 7185 which unfortunately I can’t find on the list! Please can you give me the date f manufacture and how much I should ask for this? It’s in the original lockable carry case, spar feet , needles and bobbins
Reading through your site with much interest. Same story as many before me, I now own my grandmothers electric pedal machine. I have been looking everywhere to try and locate the serial number. The only one I can find is on the plate under the bobbin – 155474 there is no prefix. I would think late 1950’s – early 1960’s by the model itself. This would be purely interest as I have no intention of getting rid of her, she is much more heavy duty than my lighter modern model. Plus my daughter has already claimed ownership after me.
I have a Singer treadle machine (Red Eye) with S/N 7500632, apparently made in 1919. I have the metal attachment case including attachments. It’s in its original wood cabinet and works. I’m looking for a good home for it. Please spread the word. I’m in northern Minnesota.
I’ve a ED17744 and there is another 95k40 sewing machine I like to know what needles to use pls.
