Christine: Mine is a Centennial 15-91 as well! Her name is My Sweet Ada, named after my G'ma Drake, but this was my Mother's machine -- purchased the same year I was born. In high school, I sewed a vest out of leather and suede scraps. I did invest in a leather needle for her, but she and her metal gears went right through those layers.

I keep saying that if she ever does quit working (which I don't expect) that she'll make a great boat anchor, because she weighs a ton!

Now I'm going to check out your blog....
