The machine I just bought off ebay does not have a model number on it, the person that I bought it from said it was a 15 91 how can I tell if it is that model? Also it has on the top of the machine The singer company, made in Canada..

Do you think that is why there is no tag on the front that said 15 91? because it was made in Canada... Thanks

Not all Singers have the model tag on the pillar. If the tension is on the faceplate and it has a potted motor, then it's a 15-91. Got pics?

Yup, that sure looks like a 15-91 to me. And a Centennial yet. Good grab!

now this makes me feel good about buying this machine it is a refurbished machine and it sews like a dream... So far I have just tried sewing a few fabrics together and it sew great..

Now I will tell you what I payed for it and you may not think it was such a good deal, I paied 152.00 with shipping, I know some folks here have said that they got there 15 91 for 20.00 to 50.00 ..I did look and just couldn't find one so I just jumped in and got this one..I'm doing the happy dance so I guess that is what counts I love it..

Thanks all...for your help on finding out if this was infact a 15 91..

Yesterday while looking for a motorcycle dealer -it closed -but had Second Hand shop next door . I felt a pull to go in. Saw an old Singer (Made in Canada on top) in a wooden cabinet with 3 drawers on right side. Two sections to the top to cover the machine. Took down the serial # with 2 prefixes JC ........but then saw price tag of $195.

Told the sister working the store --NO WAY -not worth that. Showed her how to find date -said 1948 on pc but it had the gold emblem on front that said 1851-1951 so that can't be right. Never did find the model #
From the looks of your machine I think it is a 15 model but dirty /cabinet needs refinishing --Plus the bobbin assembly and bobbin are missing. No manual or extras. Gave her # to call Singer next week.

I believe I was sent there to help these ladies learn about machines. After an hour we got to buy some home pastry at half price --strawberry/rubarb pie. I don't need another machine as I did get my 99k with handcrank , and Singer kept me on phone for 1 hr to find out yr 1949.

Congratulations on finding your Singer!! She looks wonderful!

This looks exactly like my 15 so I am sure it is. You can look at Billy's (Lostin51) Thread and find alot of info there.

On my Singer there is a gold plate below the decal. That is the model number. I see you have one so don't you have numbers on that gold plate? It should give you the info you need to track it down. there are lots of sites with info on the old Singers

It's always been my rule if the buy and seller are each happy, the price is right. One can always find someone who made a better deal. I've a 201 which cost me $0.99 and a 99 that cost $175. I'm happy with each.

You're 15 looks lovely. It will give many hours of pleasure. Enjoy.
