Imagine my surprise!

I had heard of errors - particularly with the "G" numbers in the serial number lists. I actually saw a 66 a few years back in a thrift store. I quadrupled checked and the serial number was not one that had been allotted to a 66. It looks like you may have found another. According to http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...l-numbers.html yours should be a 115 rather than a 15. The serial number would have been allotted December 14, 1915. I believe you may have left out a digit to come up with the 1910 date.
I really like the decals. It was quite a while before I could get a machine with the "Tiffany/Gingerbread" decals. I now have a 15 and 115 with those decals. They aren't the greatest specimens, but they are mine.

For those curious, the 115 is an rotating bobbin machine while the 15 is an oscillating bobbin machine. Singer only made the 115 for a rather short period of time, and it is identical to the 15 of that era on the top side.
Underneath, you can easily see the difference between the hook assembly - the 15 is the larger of the two.
