I'd buy it for that price. It is a Japanese 15 - it is a clone of the Singer 15. Here is a link for more info and plenty of discussion. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...p-t164361.html
and another link for one I cleaned up - http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...r-t169127.html

It would be the "Occupied Japan" marking that would make me go after it... things were only marked that way for a short time.

I have a question.....did Singer make any sewing machines in Japan? My husband said he saw a Singer machine that had "made in occupied Japan "written on it......He swears it was a Singer brand..
