The top machine looks like a Singer 15, made in 1948 in Quebec, Canada. That's from the Singer serial # list and the 15 is by where the tension discs are located. She is very pretty. I couldn't read the name on the bottom machine. Sorry I can't be of more help.

The second machine is an International Rotary.

The, I'm fixing to guess it's oprobably a 15 clone made in Japan. It looks like it's missing the bobbin plate cover which can be obtained at a Singer store but you'll need the plate dimensions so they order the proper one. It should only be about $12. That's the cost at my local Singer store anyway.

It has the bobbin plate, it was just swiveled out so I could see the bobbin case. It's a good idea because the plate won't be lost that way.

That's great that it can be swiveled out of the way. Wish some of mine could do that. The Singer 15 manuals are available for free on the Internet at several sources and would probably also cover the Universal Rotary. Have some 15 attachments but have not tried them on the 15 clones so cannot tell you much more except both are good looking machines.

Bought the machine - she went for $40 - after checking for all the parts (bobbin case, etc) and making sure it could sew. Now all I need to do is get it into my sewing room. It was her mothers machine, her name was Florence Emily, so thats the name of the new machine. The lady seemed very pleased when I told her that I was naming the machine that. It was also made the year the lady was born and she didn't know that.

Definitely worth $50. A 201 is worth way much on its own.
