Gorgeous cabinet though!

Nope, both your eyes are OK, mine are shot. You're right it's a Mdl 15. Look just above the needle bar and there's a spot from the wall behind the machine that looks like the tension on a 127 or a 66. I need a bigger monitor cos that light colored spot looked like a tensioner and the real tensioner blended in with the other part of the wall.

That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

I still like the cabinet.

Joe if you hold down control and hit + as many times as you like you can make your pictures bigger - to shrink the screen back hold down control and then hit - (minus) as many times as you hit the +

She's HOME!! She needs some shining up, a new belt, and the cabinet needs a good oiling.

If I did this right, she was made in 1914

Missing the piece that covers the bobbin, to the left of the dogs.

Singer Manuf. label

Medallion on the back. It appears to be silver, but needs polishing.

Does anyone know where I can get decorative wooden cut outs like on the door. The wood is so dry they have broken and there are several pieces missing. It's got more feet than I know what to do with!! I'll have to take pictures of them later

Inside of the decorative door is a wooden box that locks, a shelf and another little box that set in it.

All the hardware seems to be intact and moving freely, just needs a belt.
