We discussed the CB thing a while back, here:http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...e-t216990.html

I had to look it up again to remember though.

There's a "Singer Domestic" on my CL today, too. I see that sort of thing a lot, but usually they leave out the real brand name and just call it a Singer.

I really loved the all Caps on the Singer, they actually made an effort and still got it wrong.

Today's lesson:
Always look inside the case, it might not be what you think it is:

That case is -not- standard for that machine.

Thanks, Tammi. That thread is great for your pictures showing the differences of the 15 and 115. I thought it might be Central Bobbin, but it seems like such a meaningless distinction. Central to the left side of the machine?

This looks like a sweet deal for someone, but would it have been so hard to take a picture of the whole front of the machine? It looks like it's in a storage shed, so it would be harder now.

Really! Are you gonna get that? The case looks like it goes to a 348 or something like that.
Edit: Actually the case looks newer than a 348. I don't know.

This one will not go away. Carved wooden pants on Singer irons.

Well, this is really interesting. A person looking for someone to restore an antique Singer machine. The machine looks to be in really, really rough shape, though.
