What Steve said, they are really rare (and cool, IMO): It's a 15-1 and have a different bobbin mechanism (and bobbins) to the later 15s. The modern domestic needle is the same, though, as 15x1 needles were designed for that exact model

Looking forward to seeing the pictures.
There's some info at ISMACS and some
