It is badged with 191u.
When I searched Singer Co. there wasn't a manual for it.
Price is right, but it is a long way from me, but do-able road trip.

I saw one a couple of weeks ago at an estate sale. It was mocha and in the best hard case I have ever seen. I passed it up on the first day, I think it was priced close to $200 and it sold for that. It looked new.
It struck me as a cross between a 15 and a 201 in the more modern body type. I think I read somewhere it's a different needle. It's also one of those machines that shared a model number with an industrial machine.

This is similar to the one I saw. It came in the case with the fold out table and was the heaviest case I have encountered to date.
