The Singer spartan was made overseas just for the american market and it was meant to compete against the cheaper Japanese 15's that were flooding the market. It was the lowest introductory machine in the line up just like the White FW was the budget model of the FW's.
Very few Spartans were sold compared to the Singers. If you find one in good condition get it its money in the bank.

This weekend I found a Spartan for $20 that says 192K on the thread stitch length area. The wheel turns, but that is all, nothing else. The lady wanted $55 for it. I can't get it out of the "bed" it is in to look for any numbers, not sure were to look. I bought 4 machines this weekend. A Spartan, a Wizard, a Singer 99K-, and Kenmore all for $90. Not certain if I paid too much, but I am learning. My sister gave me a Singer with the cabinet. Nothing special that I can tell yet. LOL And it all started with someone giving me a 99K in a cabinet last week.
Pictures later.
