Here is the info from the slide plate:
PATENTED
Dec 5 - 1882
Mar 20 - 1883
Feb 3 - 1885
Dec 18 - 1887
Aug 21 -1888
Sept 9 - 1890
Dec 15 - 1891
Apr 7 - 1896
I sure can't get a picture of the slide plate.
This machine has a bigger hand wheel than the other 15s.
It sews through anything like it is butter.
AHA the bobbin case has a patent of April 7 1896, too! I think it is a 15-30 with a 1 o'clock bobbin case.

AHA! I WAS wrong! I took a photo and blew it up a bit it is L1080326 which is 1901 - Another puzzling thing about that machine. It has King Tut's decals. King Tut was discovered in the 1920s - was it refurbished or are Tut decals original?

It would be a fiddle base if it was a 15-1 - I read the serial number wrong.

Weird that they would do the same decals. Trying to use up the trendy decals maybe? Maybe what was a hot seller? I wish they would have stuck with flowers. Creepy being watched while you clean up a machine... There were fads for Egyptian decor when the Suez Canal opened. DH was the one obsessing about the decals. I think they are ugly. sigh.

The “Tall & Short” of it last Friday, was sewing athletic award patches on a young lady’s High School Letter Jacket with my Singer 29K70 patch machine, and then going back to servicing a Centennial Singer 221 Featherweight machine on the work bench.
The photos are of the jacket with the patches laid out where they need to be attached (we use a Smart Phone to photograph the layout when the customer brings their work in, to use for reference later during the sewing process). I’m able to sew the patches onto the sleeve with the 29K70 without opening any seams. Then, there’s a photo of “Cope”, my 1943 Singer 29K70 patcher (home unit) and my hand crank 1957 Singer 221 Featherweight, “Hurkie”, showing the size difference between the two machines.
