What Do I Have Here model 15?
1 Attachment(s)
Was given this machine today as a gift after a gentleman saw how wonderful my Model 66 Red Eye looked. Trying to find information on the model and I'm still not sure if it is a model 15. Would appreciate your help in identifying it. Thanks.

It looks like an early 15 to me. Do you have the serial #? That would tell for sure.

It is a model 115 ! Its serial number was allocated on March 18, 1914 and there were 5,000 serial numbers in that allotment.

Thanks Judy, I had never heard of 115.

You're welcome. I am lucky enough to have a 115 also and it has those Gingerbread/Tiffany decals also. I think you will be very happy with your machine. Happy sewing to the two of you!

The model 15 and 115 are very similar. The difference is underneath the machine. The 115 is a true rotary hook machine while the 15 uses an oscillating hook. If you look underneath, the hook assembly is much smaller on the 115 than the 15.
It should be a really nice machine for you. That's also one of my favorite decal patterns. Rodney |
Are the 115's really good FMqing machines like the 15's?

Candace, I have not tried FM on my 115 yet. It sure does turn nice/make a nice stitch. I should put a motor on it and try it out - I just haven't had much time to mess around.
