Also I have a Singer Sphynx Treadle that I cannot seem to find much information online about, if anyone can tell me anything about it. Other than finding on the Singer website that it was made pre-1900 because the serial number has no prefixes. I will try and take a few pictures of that one later on today...here are some pictures of the 15-91.
Thank you all so much for all of the information you have shared here too, it's AMAZING! It is taking me a little bit of time to wade through it all, but it is SO VERY enjoyable. You all have me wanting to save any little sewing machine I find and try and bring it back to life! LOL*
Pumpkin, you have a very nice 15-91 and cabinet!
Your Sphinx is probably a 27 or 127. The manual is the same for both machines - the only difference between a 27 and a 127 is where the shuttle winder is located. On the 127 the shuttle winder is up high near the hand wheel. On a model 27, the shuttle winder is low, near the base of the machine.
