SewSnap: Singer Serial Number

You see it across the room. An old Singer in the corner of an estate sale, price tag flipped face-down. Featherweight? Common treadle? The difference is hundreds of dollars. You have sixty seconds to decide, and the next picker is already walking over. SewSnap turns your iPhone into an instant expert. Frame the serial plate and the camera reads the engraved digits, or just type the serial number yourself. SewSnap cross-references official ISMACS production records and returns the exact year of manufacture, factory of origin, and model family, usually in seconds. No spreadsheets, no rabbit holes, no guessing. Brands supported: Singer (exact year via ISMACS records 1900 to 1971), plus Bernina, Pfaff, Husqvarna, Husqvarna Viking, White, New Home, Elna, and Brother at decade-level precision. WHAT YOU LEARN IN SECONDS Exact manufacture year, decoded from official serial-number production records, not crowdsourced estimates. Know whether your machine rolled off the line in 1923 or 1953.
