My new (Old) Singer 99-13 born in 1931

I lifted up my machine and found this bottle of oil tucked underneath.

I did some research and I found that my machine's birthday is October 6, 1931 and it was made in Elizabeth New Jersey at a factory called Elizabethport : )

Here is a great reference to look up your Singer if your have the serial number.
