Default Morse Sewing Machine---Pictures

I should have done this before I posted the question about getting a new bobbin and holder. We bought this at a yard sale and definitely did not need it. We are actually finding new homes for what I do have. I just hate to think of this one sitting around without a bobbin holder, no one would buy it if I donate it to a charity. It was very dirty, sitting in someone's basement for years and years. They said it still sewed, but I have no proof of that yet. My DH cleaned this machine and soldered a new electrical plug on the light. I do have some Singer 15-91 bobbins and holders, if that will work. Just let me know and thanks so much everyone for your knowledge.

Neat clone. ( insert drool smiley ). A 15-91 bobbin case wont work in this one. The finger is pointed the wrong way. But it does use class 15 bobbins and 15x1 needles.

to help visualize, here are the two side by side



I have no idea if the hole at the top of the arm has any significance.




This is the Singer 15

The hole on the bobbin case is supposed to assist with tension on certain embroidery type stitches and buttonholes on some machines. Vintage Bernina machines have these.
