three 66s
one 99K
one 27
one 128
one toy chainstitch
one 15-90 ? made in China for Singer
I have nearly twice as many Singers as I do any other maker. Like you, I run into them and have to take them home while searching for my favorite Japanese ones. Or, they find me!

I do not think of myself a Singer collector but I just now realized:

We have one machine in storage that I had forgotten about until last fall.
It's ok to have duplicates. We currently have 2 Singer model 27 s with the pheasant decals. We also have 2 Singer 99s but they're around 30 yrs apart with some changes in between so I'm not sure that counts. My wife thinks I have too many machines but there are still a few more on my want list.
I may have the opportunity to display some at next year's fair in the 4H sewing exhibit. I'm hoping to have a few older ones set up that people can sew with if they want. I'll have to try to get a good variety before then. I'm hoping it works out.

Strictly speaking a clone isn't a Singer model 15. So you were right you didn't have one yet. Now you have the clone and a real 15 to do a side by side comparison on. At $17 you got a bargain. I just don't see Singer 15s go that cheap here.
A 66 and 101 would round out your set of class 66 machines. The 101s don't come up all that often though.

I have to say that I am a collector. I have in my living room alone, 1 Singer Serger, 1 Juki serger, 1 Babylock serger, 1 black 301, 1 beige 301, 1 black 201 in QA cabinet, 1 singer 99k, 1 Spartan 3/4 size, 1 Viking Rose Embroidery machine, 1 singer 243, 1 Treadle, 1 fiddlebase not complete from SteveH, 1 Singer Futura II, 2 Black FW's 1 in a case smaller than the other, 1 Singer can't remember the # in a bag, 1 Singer Sphinx, 1 White in a cabinet. I have more out in the bus, in the construction trailer, upstairs, a German Dressmaker in my closet and at least 3 others in that closet. So what do I do with them??? I play when I have time. Plus I sent my 301 beige to a friend, and also a Singer to another friend, 1 Singer to my mother, 1 Singer to my sister.

Dang, you must have been an hour typing that last post, amyjo. I would be a day and half trying to name all the ones I have scattered all over my house, out in my sewing room, and out in DH's shop, and maybe even out in the big barn out back. I have forgotten. I keep saying, I need to let my son sell some of them on ebay; but hasn't worked yet. I don't have time. Hahahaha.
