Serial # is AG647013
I think she is a Model #15 I went to the web site and for that serial # it said 15 quanity 20000 on April 8 1946. Not sure if that is right if someone knows differently let me know. Foot peddle and 2 bobbins is all that I got with her. But that is ok I just want to do stright stitch with her. Can't find a manual went to web site said could no find for that serial # But the I went into the manual section and the only 15s are treadle but down loaded the manual for free and see if it has me thread the right way. If any one knows anything about her let me know.
I know she isn't a featherwight (shes heavy) but for the price I just couldn't pass her up.
Needs a little more cleaning up

PS... The threading is a bit different.... and you will need to thread the needle from right to left.... I fiddled around with this and finally called Jim and this was the problem...
If you haven't been able to thread it let me know. i will try to tell you step by step....

my mother had the same exact sewing machine, she got it in 1953, even the same table. I still have the table, but traded the machine in for a newer singer years ago...wish I still had the original..we always think newer is better..it's not!
