Does anyone else collect other sewing items? Some years ago I was given an old, hand embroidered pin cushion that came with some 'handmade' pins, then I have an antique stitching sampler which takes pride of place in my home and has done for many years. It's in a lovely, understated walnut frame which cost a fortune because the sampler wasn't a regular frame size. The lady who gave it to me was then (30 yrs ago) in her 80's and it was stitched by her great, grandmother as a 6yo in 1844. It's the grab-and-run item in my fire plan which hopefully never has to be implemented.

Becky Mc, you did great. The cabinet or machine each are worth that much alone. Nice looking machine. I like the design on the faceplate.

That's a beautiful machine. I love that little scroll plate, so pretty.
You did a great job for that price! I've heard nothing but good things from the 15 owners on here. I have a 66 myself. I know there's a website to go to to download some of these old manuals. I keep forgetting to bookmark it. ISMAC or something like that.

BeckyMc - Yours is the 15-91 which has the "potted" motor (rather than the belt driven 15-90) The earlier models were treadle or handcrank.
Here's a site I have found useful in identifying Singer machines: http://www.sandman-collectibles.com/...machines.htm#8
I was going to give you the ismacs.com site for a manual but see that miriam already has.
Let us know if you have any more questions.

Been trying to use my 306k and at this point, if I could lift it, I'd throw it out a window. I can't seem to get the bobbin case to 'snap' into the place where it's supposed to. That is one thing I really hate about this machine is how difficult it is to access the bobbin. Who the hell came up with the idea that we'd just love to man handle that heavy head to put a new bobbin in? I'm sure I have the right size bobbin because I've sewn with this machine before. Isn't it and L bobbin? any help is greatly appreciated because Carmen (it's name) is on thin ice right now.......
