I just realized I've been remiss in not sharing with you that we have a vintage Singer sewing machine on consignment. It's the wonderful model 15-91, a terrific workhorse. This one is housed in a gleaming, wooden, sewing cabinet that opens to form a small work table.
In the storage bench, we found 2 boxes of accessories, a very stylish 1950's Sewing Skills booklet, and Singer's instruction manual for the Model 15-91.
The serial number, AL312585, indicates this was one of 50,000 Model 15's built in 1953 at Singer's Elizabethport factory in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
This machine appears to be in great shape and it runs, but we haven't checked the stitch. It is missing the upper thread spindle. It has the bobbin case, but no bobbins came with it.
