    Hi

    Is this a 15-91? It has a centennial badge so 1951 must be the year. What does M.R. stand for? Any ballpark figures for the value of this machine in a plain table?

    I hope the picture shows up and isn't too huge.

    Thanks

    Nancy

    Gorgeous! I wonder if the M.R. might be custom added initials.

    It is a 15 and I love this machine. I got a quilt under mine now! I can put no value on this machine! To me it is priceless. My dh bought mine for me 36 yrs ago for $20 and I wouldn't sell it for anything! Just a tank!
