Thought it was a doorstop, maybe not!
I bought what I thought was a decoration for my sewing room years ago for 6 bucks and change. But I'm looking at it with new eyes after all the reading I've done here. Maybe it's not a doorstop after all. The serial number is AH686690 it's a 15 right? It's missing the power cord and foot pedal. I misplaced the plate duh! How do I know if its a 15-91? Is the foot pedal separate from the power cord? In going to use muv's video and clean and oil this baby up.

When I looked up the serial number AH686690 on ISMACS it says its a 15, 35,000 were made on June 21, 1948. It is the model that the US Government gave Japan permission to copy and mass produce after World War II. Right? I love history.

if you call Singer on Monday they can give you a more "accurate" answer. (assuming the DB is accurate for that part...)
:"To date your Singer machine you should call 1-800-4-Singer with the serial number or email your serial numbers to Singer at [email protected]."

It's a beauty! Here's an article on cleaning you might be interested in reading even though this is about a treadle:
