Yes, the serial number tells you all about your machine from the Singer site.

Foxflower, I also own a Singer 15 made in NJ in 1904 with the Spinx decals. A collector told me it was quite rare to find the Spinx decal in 1904. I am not a collector so don't know how true that is. Just for interest sake, I paid $125. for mine as it was in town where I live, exactly what I wanted and I haven't regretted one minute of it. I posted a pic. a while back and Billy said to use pourable Liquid Gold furniture polish to protect the decals and make it real shinny.
Thanks, she does need to be cleaned some, plus rust scrubbed off the steel parts. I've ordered a belt for starters.
