Who knows anything about this little girl?
Serial # C5863299 ; No model # that I can find. She may not look to pretty but she runs and makes a beautiful stitch. I am looking for a manual to go with her. [ATTACH=CONFIG]375466[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]375467[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]375468[/ATTACH] Any info would by greatly appreciated. |
I don't know, but she is very pretty. And the cabinet is too.
|
Nice :) would love to have one myself
|
Well, as far as I can tell it's a model 15 made in Germany.
Here is what ISMACS has to say: Letter Register Numbers From - To Machine Class (Model No.) Quantity Allotted Date Allotted Year Allotted Notes C- Beginning 1908 When Russian army invaded Germany in 1945, they stripped all the machinery from the Singer Company's Wittenberg factory. Nice machine and nice cabinet. Joe |
It looks to be one of the model 15's. She's a beauty! Do you have the serial number? You can look it up on this site:
http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...-database.html Duh ;) ! I see that you have posted the serial number, already...lol! |
Pretty machine and cabinet!!

My guess is a 115. At first I was going to tell you it was a 15, but the thread tensioner looks wrong for a 15. Ismacs has the correct manual: http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...e-manuals.html
The one I downloaded from Singer was wrong, it had the right model number, but showed a machine with a tensioner facing you, which is clearly not right. There must have been 2 model 115s at some time. If I could see the bobbin case, I'd have a better idea if it's a 115, but it looks like mine, except your decal set is different than mine. The C series serial numbers were destroyed in the war, so there's no record from Singer about it, I can't get you a model from that, or a date. |

You can get a better handle on it you can compare it to these pictures of the bobbin are for a 115 (first) and 15. The two machines otherwise look pretty much identical:

Oh wow! You people are terrific. It is a 115. I went to the ismacs site and looked at the 115 and there she was! I looked at a lot of pictures to find a similar machine but all had the tensioner in the front and mine is in the back.
So now I have the manual I was looking for. Thank you everyone for your help. If I could send you all some cookies I would! thanks again. peace EDIT: Just saw the pic's of the bobbin case and had to gert up to take a look. My case has the same arch piece that goes all the way across the top like in the second pic so I guess she is sweet 15. But all the rest is the same. Thank you all again for your time and effort helping me out. |

Pretty machine! When I was looking for a 15 or 115 the kind folks on this board said that a 15 is an oscillating hook and the 115 is a rotary. I bought a 115 which they also said was a little more rare. Plus, since it is a rotary hook it has a bit better tension when making quick turns. Enjoy your new baby. Her cabinet is gorgeous! Mine came in a rather plain 5 drawer maple treadle cabinet and has the Tiffany Gingerbread decals too.

You do have a very nice sewing machine. I often wonder about the travels of the sewing machine that were made in Europe and are now residing here in the US. What a story they could tell if they could.

looks like a model Singer 15, love the cabinet, beautiful.

oh my goodness. I love her. I think she is pretty just as she is. Bet you have a name for her already. She is wonderful. Wish I could help ID her, but haven't a clue. Thanks for sharing the picture.

The stamping of the serial numbers isn't always easy for me to read. I am wondering if the alpha on your serial number is a "G" rather than a "C"? If yes, here is the information I found on ismacs:
[TABLE] [TR] [TD]LETTER G-[/TD] [TD]REGISTER NMBR FROM 5862331[/TD] [TD]REGISTER NMBR TO 5912330[/TD] [TD]MACHINE CLASS (MODEL NO.) 15[/TD] [TD]QUANTITY ALLOTTED 50000[/TD] [TD]DATE ALLOTTED January 3[/TD] [TD]YEAR ALLOTTED 1918[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Below is a picture of the serial number on my machine. I read mine as a "G". I pasted the ismacs info for this serial number too showing that my machine is a 115: [TABLE] [TR] [TD]G-[/TD] [TD]4663716[/TD] [TD]4673715[/TD] [TD]115[/TD] [TD]10000[/TD] [TD]May 3[/TD] [TD]1916[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] |

I checked my serial# and for sure it is a 'C'. The letter is san-serif. |
I have a 66 singer, a 1591 and a 99k. And they all work. Love them.
Love your machine. Do you have any more antiques? |
Love it...I got one that looks like her...It was given to me by a friend in Kentucky....I am working on mine trying to get her cleaned up..

Pretty machine and cabinet.
