This is my 1951 Singer 99K. It is operated by a knee bar that I could get very accustomed to using. Much more control and fun too! It takes low shank attachments, which means is will fit attachments that also fit my Singer 201's and those from my puzzle box.
I spent quite some time researching old sewing machines, online and offline and have decided to share with you a list of links that I use. From these links you should be able to identify the model of your antique or vintage Singer sewing machine, date it and also find out the attachments it will take. There are also free manuals on a few of them for you to download. Which provide loads of information on the machines themselves.
If you have a link you would like to add, please leave a comment and I will add it to the list once I have checked it out.
(I have updated these links 15th Sep 2009. Some had expired, but I was able to track some of them down through the web archive. I have left the old links in should they become available at a later date)

Thanks Jules. Thanks for visiting!
Anyone who has old Pfaff machines (all metal and over 25 lbs) would be interested in the Yahoo group, Old Pfaff Forum. I've found it to be a great source for my favorite machines. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oldpfaffpforum/
Eloominator I will check that out. You reminded me that I need to add the Singer Yahoo groups too. Thanks.
