Welcome Lorri.

As Joe said, it is a 15 clone and a manual for these machines can be found at https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mac...ion-manual.pdf There are some that think that these are even better than the Singer 15s that they were modeled after.

Good call, Joe. I found a Wikipedia link which says Montgomery Wards bought the store in 1957 and " these stores retained the Fair nameplate, and one more Fair Store would open, at Randhurst Mall in 1962."
