I have been looking for an old Singer to purchase so I can take it apart and practice cleaning it before I tackle one of mine. I went to a local Goodwill and the "junk man" was there. He was taking an old Singer out the back door. I asked him why and he said the manager said he could take it for scrap. Yes, he was taking this old black Singer to be sold for scrap and he said it would probably be crushed. I asked if I could buy it and he said no, he needed the scrap. I almost cried. He did give me the book, feet, bobbins, bobbin case, needles, and everything in the drawers but I just wanted to save the machine. It was a Singer 15-91. I then asked the manager if she would save one for me and explained the reason I wanted one and she said sure. Another Singer bites the dust.
