Hello I have some information from the leading expert on Singer sewing machines. Her name is Chrys Gunther and she is hands down the best. I always go to her because she has a lot of the records that Singer no longer has.
Anyway here is her email back to me after showing her photos and discussing a few features about the machine.....
"Billy,
The quickest way to tell the 191 apart from the late style
201 is by the bobbin area. The 191 is a class 15 machine.
The 201 has the drop in bobbin like the model 66 except it's
a rotary machine.
The manual with this machine is for a 191. But it's also
obvious it does not use a drop in bobbin. You can see that
by the open slide plate and bobbin case sitting there.
Chrys"
So now we know it is a 191U and not a 201K. But that does not mean I do not still lust after it!!:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
