I need some information on a Singer model 15. I saw a pretty blackside one, from 1942 in a cabinet. It needs to be rewired, and there's no needle clamp on the needle bar, so I can't even try it out by hand. The hand wheel moves very easily though. I'm thinking they want too much for it as it is priced $150 or $175. I was thinking that it was worth more in the $50 price range. Am I right, or completely off base? It is in a resale shop. Thanks for any info anyone wants to tell me either pro or against getting a 15. Don't know what the __ part of the 15 it is. Any help here? It isn't on e of the 3/4 machines like the 99, is it?

I think that it's just that it's the krinkled blackside that is interesting me. And then too, I'd have to haul it all the way back to IN from the Chicago suburbs area. Probably too much bother. I really like the shiny black machines, but these dull black rough ones are interesting me too. I don't think they'd go way down on the price any way. thanks for telling me to wait. I know my hubby would be happier.
I just got my second 99 (B. 1924) a week or so ago. I did find out looking on the net, that the 99's were electrified in 1921, and the photo at the sewalot site shows one in the case on a table and no foot pedalsshowing, so that must be when the knee bar was invented. Maybe the knee bar one was before the one with the foot pedal. |

My mom used to make bras on her FW back in the 60s - all cotton just a bit of elastic across the back. They weren't too bad. She copied a store bought one.

Miriam, Your mom sounds like she was a frugal and talented lady from all of your tales about her.

Miriam, your mother sounds like mine was with the plastic bags. They were a luxury!! I remember how she used to wash them out and put them over a rack to dry. She would save all of them. But then too, you have to remember they went through the depression and WW2 when things were scarce. My mother went through WW1 as well!
I don't blame your sister for praying well before meals. I think I'd do the same! |
