He showed it to me. Starts with AL - great shape, good case, has the insert, only minor scratches on the top of the machine. It has the attachments and the button holer. He asked what they were going for and then said he was going to ask the wife about listing that, too.

Okay - I got the 15. I have a question. It measures about 7" under the harp and is about 14 1/2" by 7" - about the size of my 99. But the tension is on the front and by the serial numbers, it says its a 15. I thought they were bigger. Its all right by me, I want to put a crank on it (and I have one here handy!) and it is sure heavy enough already. I just had a question about it.
It's even prettier than the earlier pictures. Are those the Tiffany decals?
Thank you - I cleaned it up a little and removed the light. It still works - all I need to do is remove the back plate and replace it with this if I want a light. The decal is called Tiffany or Gingerbread - I think I am going to name her Gretel. Her serial number starts with a G and I'm going with the gingerbread theme (I'm not much of Tiffany girl. )
