Go to the singer site
there are photos of the machines from day one of manufacture
Look at this site:
Singer Sewing Machine Company Serial Numbers
..
SOURCE: Can I see singer treadle bases to judge the year
One rule of thumb is... The more ornate the older it is. But as to a place that might give years based on the appearance? I've not found one yet. However, you might want to poke around on this site. They have some surprisingly old sewing machine info.

Another thing you might try is looking through old magazines on google books. I've found interesting adverts and articles in those old mags that provided great information when restoring things.
Good luck.
