These Singers are NOT reproductions, NOT "clones", NOT "replicas" NOR "copies", as is often said in various sewing machine interest groups. As far as anyone is aware the production of this model, the most successful and long running in Singer's history, has never stopped. Indeed the model is still manufactured by Singer and sold as Singer. Although the model has improvements on much older models, the quality is inferior (as with most things these days).

How old is this info you read? I know the 1990's repros were given the xxNL designations that the tag on this machine shows. At any rate, they canceled the auction and are going to re list it.

I'd be bidding on that one. Dang, that is nice.

If I'm reading the serial# correctly it's a model 15 with an allocation date of May 22, 1922.
At first I was thinking it might be a 115 because of the pattern. Very pretty machine.
Might be worth the shipping given the condition the decals are in.

I think you're right on the model/year and the size appears about right.

I don't see many Gingerbreads up here. Amazing condition.

Nope, many of the Goodwill stores start their auctions this low. Sometimes they stay low, and sometimes the bidding wars are worse than Ebay.

Yeah I saved it to my "watch list" I never see beautiful Gingerbread decals like that around here.

Here's a really nice Jones. There's been a couple of them showing up lately but not like this.

Here's a great deal on a Singer model 27.
