It's model # 148 15600 Serial # 86924 looks new but came with book and original pieces.
Paid more because it came with sewing basket from neighbor whose wife died. Will follow thread.
I'd vote for older, though I don't know if they had different manufacturers providing machines at the same time, and I just assume that the smaller the first three numbers are, the older the manufacturer.
