Standard Sewing Machine Company Serial Numbers By Name
Find the serial number on your sewing machine and write it on a piece of paper. Look for a numbered tag or a stamped number on the outside of your machine. Check the front, back, motor end and the bottom of the machine, in that order. I have this old sewing machine. The kind in the cabinet that pops up. It is a Universal brand machine from Standard Sewing Equipment Corp. The model is KAB-M Serial number 300755. So what I really need to know is how to work it. I can not find any manual that is free online, so I figured I would try this.
These tables are taken from Singer publications; they show the dates
for a particular range of serial numbers for the given plants.
