Yes Rodney, the Singer 227M (manufactured in Monza, Italy) has a vertical Class 15 bobbin. It also has a feed dog drop with a deck-mounted knob.
I’m planning on painting a 9-spoke handwheel tan or brown (if it will fit and work with the bobbin winder) and fitting the tan handcrank that I came up with a while back onto the one that I have. Or, I may just notch the existing disc handwheel to accommodate the crank finger. I did that with a Singer 185K a few years ago and liked how it came out, but then let a gal in Texas talk me out of it.....
I’d go with the Singer 227M.
