Ok, this forum was suggested to me and was told Billy is very knowledgeable. Here's what I have. A Singer portable machine in a brown & beige case with latches on each end. The machine has a plate on the front left with this number:
AM 0574552, on the back is this info:
CAT BZ 15-8
SS AU 52-30-24
Elizabethport, NJ
It is missing a bobbin holder and the bobbin cover plate.
Not a lot of design, but the side plate cover(terminology here?)has a ridge design
I have some photos, where do I upload them so you can take a look? I think I just found out how to post pics
Thanks,
Frankie
