I知 new here. I知 hoping someone could help me make sure I found the right info on this baby. The picture on the ismacs website was fuzzy so I知 a little lost. I think it was manufactured in 1937. Looks to be a model 15 but I can稚 seem to narrow it down for sure. Thanks for everyone痴 time in advance😊

The serial number you provided was issued to a 15. http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...l-numbers.html Maybe others will know a different way to verify. I know it would be helpful if you posted some pictures of the machine.

Welcome. You are correct that it was probably manufactured in late 1937 or possibly early 1938. The dates listed are the dates that those serial numbers were allocated for that type of machine. It does not mean that was the day the machine was actually made.

There were several varieties of 15 class machines. The most common for home use would probably be a 15-90 or a 15-91. Does it have a motor? Is the motor built into the machine? Does the motor have a belt? Is it a hand crank? Is it a treadle?
A good source to figure out which domestic Singer sewing machine you have can be found at https://www.sandman-collectibles.com...r-machines.htm Some of the lettering on that page, I feel could have better contrast, but just click through the page.

Including Images and Attachments (as of 24 Jan 2020) has a pdf on how to post pictures. From my understanding the files need to be smaller that 2MB, rather than the 5MB listed. Another thing to remember is to click on the "Upload" button that you will probably need to scroll over to the far right to find.
