I'm so glad you're going to love her anyway....she's a repro...a quite lovely repro tho, and there's absolutely no reason not to love her and use her! :)
Congrats on getting your treadle, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :)

Thanks for letting me know Charlee! I've been admiring her pics already this morning. I had to leave her at the church last night because I have an open-bed truck and it was pouring down rain. The rain will continue all day today, but hopefully I can get her home tomorrow. I miss her already! LOL!

With the tension on the faceplate, she's a 15 model with sphinx decals. You can find out more by joining "treadleon". She is just very pretty!

It is wonderful and you are so very lucky to have found a well loved machine!

I hope you enjoy your new machine. She's a beauty.

Wow!! Sally is beautiful.

Tomilu, she IS a model 15, I should have mentioned that, and while they are sphinx decals, the original Singer sphinx did not have any color but the gold. :)

Wow, what a beautiful machine!

Wow, what a beautiful machine. She looks like new. What a wonderful find. Have fun with her.

Your new machine is a reproduction. The ID # can be found underneath. Great machine to use for FM, easier to drop the feed dogs on this machine (the knob on right), and the bobbin winders are of better quality on these models than the older. Enjoy!
Here is a video of a gal using a similar machine, Singer 15.
