Newest vintage machine
Bought a 15-91 today, number assigned end of Dec 1953 and it is in great shape. Some scratches but gold leaf is perfect. Sews great and oil and greese with it, along with hardly used manual. Another estate sale run by friends of ours.
While smaller than Helen, my 201-3 it is very heavy and has wooden top.[ATTACH=CONFIG]460185[/ATTACH]

I will go take a look, it is still sitting on dinning room table. Does not appear to be, AL223076 and 50,000 alloted 12-18-52. There are some light stratches in finnisy, but gold it perfect and so I am happy. Wanted a FW but really cannot afford them, the oldies are not cheap here in FL.

Found a bill dated 5-29-67 where singer sold the machine to him for $433.55 in Gary, Ind. And that has to be used As it was made in 1953. Very well taken care of, no rust and not many feet. Have to see what bobbin it takes. Then start looking for the feet for it.
