Monica thanks again! I didn't have time to research yesterday - too star struck! Isn't it interesting that Pfaff was founded in 1862 - about the time Singer started too? Makes me wonder who copied whom in the class 15 machines, since Singer's first Model 15 came out in 1895? Of course, I don't know when Pfaff started making their class 15 machines, but there were a lot of companies making machines back then with the tension on the face plate - like Wheeler and Wilson and National! It is interesting to speculate anyway!Nancy
