Why two serial numbers?
Very early Singers from the 1850's up until the start of prefix letters in 1900 had two serial numbers. There is a lot of controversy over why there were two lots of numbers. The most likely answer is that the larger number was the total number of machines produced by Singers when they only had a few factories and could keep up with, and control, the production output from Britain and America. The lower number may be the total production run up until that number of that particular model range.
Singers have never manage to shed light on these two numbers especially as many have the last three digits the same!
Note: when two serial numbers are on the machine use the larger of the serial numbers.

Note:
On pre-1900 Singer machines if there are two serial numbers, always use the higher, longer, larger, serial number of the two.
