That's my theory, anyway.
Could be Muv, and that was the case with a lot of 1930s-built machines, but I’m surprised that Singer was still building 15K80s in the 1950s, when they had so many other models of 15s already well into production.
Whatever the story is on it, it’s an unusual machine, at least to me.
