That's about 30 miles west of Dallas/Fort Worth. I wish I was closer.

Oh my these machines are all spectacular!! Ohhhh, I'm going to be in so much trouble joining this board LOL I think I've been bitten by the collectors bug (wink) :0)

Near as i can figure it is a 103, short arm industrial it is about an inch longer and 1/2" taller "harp or throat' area than most domestic machines, also uses tall shank feet and industrial needles.

Hi I found one !
just like yours except mine needs to be repainted.
Can you tell me what the knob on the base does beside space the stitching?
Does it reverse? if so I cant get it to slide over, this machine sews leather !
If you find a manual please get a copy on this site (:
also if you do find a site for the Standard on the same knob I mentioned is a serial number that should tell you by cross referencing with the dates made , like Singer has.

Singer 15, Improved family. Watch the bobbin movement as your turning the handwheel----pretty neat.

See if you can find a wooden Singer puzzle box to keep the attachments in. They're really cool. I think I saw one on eBay yesterday that didn't have the attachments.
