Farmhousesewer,
My Singer 15 has reverse and feed dog drop as it's made like in the late 40's or early 50s so that distinction may be moot.
However, I do agree if it says Made in Taiwan then it's not a Japanese made clone!

If it is made in Taiwan, then, to me, it is not a Japanese machine. Further, I believe the reference to Singer 15 clones has been broadened too much. A Singer 15 clone looks very similar to a Singer 15 yet may have reverse and feed dog dropdown features. Often, a generic manual, may be referred to as an HA-1 manual.
Having problems typing on this site, so will leave it as that, for now.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]606591[/ATTACH] I was given this machine some time back and just recently took it out of the case. Sorry for the large picture. I did reduce it prior to posting.

I haven't done a thing to the machine yet except to check to see if it runs. I found a pdf manual online and hope to try some stitches before long.
