Has anyone seen one of these before?
Hello to all, I am trying to find out about a sewing machine that i own it's a Barnes & Pye sewing Machine. I cannot find another example of this sewing machine anywhere, it's not really that old but very heavy i have seen others that look similar but no sewing machines by Barnes & Pye. Any help would be fantastic

The Ltd told me to look across the Atlantic -- here's a bit of history stuff...

Barnes & Pye at the bottom of the article -- but I found the whole thing interesting!
And here's a little more about the Company -- but not the sewing machines.

i wonder if the machine was made by singer but sold under that company's name.
that's been done with other products throughout the "ages."

It's most likely a Japanese clone of the Singer 15. Many stores would buy these already "branded" with their name, but they didn't make them. I had one just like this that was branded Montgomery Ward.
Yours is beautiful and in lovely shape. Enjoy using it. A Singer 15 manual should be of help to you, if you ever need it.

Pretty machine. Sewbizgirl is correct. Janey posted a few days ago that the 15 clones don't thread exactly like the Singer 15. Here's a manual for the 15 clone. Janey is usually right.
