Default What machine is this?

Is this a Model 15 with fiddle base? I believe the machine attaches to the top with hinges on the bottom shown in the second photo. This machine was mounted on a industrial treadle extension leaf table model 76.

Thanks.

31-16? Not sure it looks like it has a lot of harp space.

Looks like a Singer Class 16, IM or Improved manufacturing.

I saw one of those when I was camping once. It was on a treadle. VERY elegant machine. Very large and HEAVY. I want one. I wonder where the serial number is?

At the back, opposite side to where they are on later models.
