With the tension on the faceplate, it a Japanese made machine fashioned after the Singer 15. They are referred to as clones, which doesn't make since as a clone would be an exact replica. If you need a manual, a free online Singer 15 would be very close. The Japanese machines have the reputation of being the better machine. Yours is very pretty. Give her a bath and a coat of wax and she'll look like new. Nice rescue!
