There is often confusion over Singer serial numbers. Despite what you may read elsewhere, in reality there are NO records of the machines ‘actually made’. What there are, is some estimated production figures by year up to 1900, and then after that some 'batch allocation records' for just the factories in Elizabethport and Kilbowie. There are is no information at all for any of the many other factories.
1953 Serial Numbers NA185751-NA353000: We know from Singer, the Sewing Machine Blue Book and ISMACS (International Sewing Machine Collectors Society) that the Singer 301A was first manufactured in 1953. The Registry and Original purchase receipts confirms that NA185750 was the last 301 and NA185751 was the first 301A. This is an antique treadle sewing machine with hide-away stand in oak and cast iron by the Singer Sewing Machine Company. The machine has serial numbers AC360494 on it which indicates it was one of 35,000 alotted on October 11, 1928, in Class Model 66.

Although the batch allocation records after 1900 are an excellent resource as a starting point for further checking, they can't be relied upon and should only be used with caution. Because they have so many errors, and because they result in so much confusion and mis-information, we have chosen not to publish the complete list of these. They are though inluded for certain individual classes of machine, where we have been able to validate them to some extent.
