As I was looking it over, being the last day, the woman offered it to me as a door stop or garden ornament - just take it away. I felt bad for it so it followed me home. The wheel turns freely and the needle goes up and down. It's missing its shuttle, here is is uncleaned. I'll clean it up, but it won't go in the garden. If I can find a shuttle and a bobbin, I'll stick a hand crank on it - if that is even possible.

thank you to miriam and cabbagepatchkid, I now have my 15-91 sewing like a champ! and have a pdf manual.
My DH is going to rewire the cord and foot control as it is patched in three places and needs a fourth up the machine. It could stand to have 2 more inches in length to the foot control just to fully touch the floor from my low sewing desk. (and I'm short!) the manual told me I have all the original assessories/feet for it also. Good buy for $50 at a garage sale I think. thanks again. I'll be checking in every now and again.
