Our resident expert, Billy told me what it was.
He sure knows his stuff.
And I see you dancing in Kansas. You have a treasure there.
Never thought wearing jewelry would scratch our pretty ladies.
I do wear three rings, wedding band & thumb rings. Thumb rings can come off, not the wedding band. Thanks for the heads up.
Blessings to you,
Sandi

She has been cleaned, but she still needs her coat of Liquid Gold.

Talk about looking like a new machine!!! Sandi you and your hubby did an excellent job and on such a rare machine at that.
After the Liquid Gold it will be screaming! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I was looking at a machine and got the serial #. I sent an email to Singer and they replied saying it was a 15K. Does the K have any significance? The manual says 15-91 but maybe it did not belong to this particular machine??

I have learned that the K stands for the Kilbowie Singer plant in Clydebank, Scotland.

I'm sure I've lost my mind. I blame it on all of you since I was perfectly sane before I started out with the QB. I was all set to acquire a reasonably priced (i.e., inexpensive) FW. I have been bidding on hundreds of them over the past few months but haven't won yet. Then I came across this cute green thing, became obsessed and forgot about the FWs. I just won an auction on shopgoodwill.com a Husqvarna Viking Automatic Type 21 machine in its original case. It looks pretty good cosmetically and I have no idea what it is really worth or if it will actually work but I just paid what I think is a very reasonable price for it (I almost feel guilty). I am going to try to post the pics from the auction listing and would really appreciate it if anyone can give me any info on this machine as I have not been able to find more than a couple of websites that even mention it. I know I'll probably have to do some cleaning and oiling and I will be happy to receive lots of helpful advice, comments, pros, cons, etc. I'm such a silly girl sometimes...I know part of the reason I love the look of this machine is because it matches my KitchenAid stand mixer (also a pretty green) which is my favorite appliance of all time. I hope I made a good decision. By the way, I lied...I don't think I've ever been perfectly sane...that would be very boring!!! Take a look and tell me what you think of it.
