According to https://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/191
There appears to be several other 191s as I have found references to the following with their country of manufacture.
191B France
191J Canada
191K Scotland
191M Italy
191R Mexico
191U Japan

As bkay asked and said
What do you need to know? Do you sew at all? Do you have any experience with older sewing machines? Let us know and we'll try to help.
There is a manual at https://www.manualslib.com/manual/36...1k.html#manual It is a picture only instruction manual. I'm guessing since it was made in so many countries they made the manual so no matter what language the same one could be used.

It takes class 15 bobbins and a 1 o'clock bobbin case and 130/705, aka 15x1, household sewing machine needles.

We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button.

I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?

Another way to post pictures can be found at 2021/2022, 2.5” Birthday Swap

Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post.
