Wow! Very nice. My mother used to collect from trashpiles. She had a knack for always finding the good stuff. I didn't inherit that! Maybe you're her daughter too? lolol

This looks like a Singer 15 or a 15- 91 model.
A 15-91 will thread right to left like a featherweight.
Manuls are available free on line look around.
The patent for the 15 was given to Japan by the US after WWII to help rebuild the economy so the manuals will cover it

I agree. Somehow though, I never manage to find things like this. Have fun getting to know her.
