Tommilu, I am very confused. I love your machine. You say it is a Singer 15. I saw one in the thrift store today and it looked liked yours except that the reverse plate said reverse. I noticed that your did not. the bos #is ah853654. I looked it up and the site says says it is a 66. I have a 66 and it looks nothing like this machine. I believe that store machine had a motor on it. Kathie
Some of the later 66s had a reverse. By your serial number, it's a 1948, which is pretty late in the game for 66s...The way you can tell for sure if you are looking at a 66 or a 15 is that a 15 has the tension assembly sticking out of the faceplate, to the left of the machine. A 66 would have the tensioner sticking out of the front of the machine.
