Additional photos of my mom's Singer model 66-1(?) Red Eye. Exact date unknown. It looks beat up, but it was well loved.

myrandam82, Woo hoo!

A picture of the serial number. :-)

I'm going to link your other, related post here for reference:

Serial number G4632659 would be in this range:

*snip*

G- 4613216 4663215 66 50000 May 3 1916

G- 4763741 4813740 66 50000 July 25 1916

So it probaby rolled of the assembly line at the Elizabethport factory some time between May 3 and July 25 1916.

And yes, the cabinet is Cabinet Table No. 2. It's color is rather dark, and that could be because of its age, or the type of wood. Singer did make that particular cabinet table in more than one wood:

2 CABINET TABLE
5 drawer, open case, plain
For machines 9W, 15, 66, 115, 127
Available in Oak (ALMUB), Walnut (ALMYC), Mahogany (ALNAX), Mission (ALNEZ)

However, when I look back at the worn spots in the table top in your other post, the grain makes me suspect that it's oak, and the varnish is just dark.

This is the sewing machine head with the cloth band around the narrowest part of the horizontal arm, and that's something you commonly find on vintage sewing machines.

It was used as a handy place to store pins. So yes, your mother's machine was well loved. :-)
