Default B & B Sewing Machine Company USA Info?

Hello all! I recently purchased this sewing machine and can’t find any info. It has a made in Japan badge along with “Super De Luxe”. I’m trying to figure out how to post a pic from my phone.

Lots of machines were marked super de lux. Pic might help
Is the tension on the front or on the end?

B & B would have been the importer/supplier so it might not be very helpful to find information on them. There were not all that many companies in Japan making machines, so finding out the manufacturer may be helpful.

highly possible it is a Singer 15 clone. You might look up a pic and see if it looks familiar.

Pics have to be shrunk to a very small size.

From my understanding, most will send the photo on their phone to themselves and reduce on computer to be able to post. I could send you a private message with my email address so you could send me the photo. I could reduce it and post here.

If it is a 15 clone, you may see several at Will the Real 15 clone please stand up

If it is a Zig Zag machine you might want to look at some of the images at http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine...g_Machines.htm

Thank you Janey. Please pm and I will send the photo(s). I don’t have access to my computer right now. We’ve been moving. I do believe it is a 15 clone.

It is on the end.

PM sent.

More than likely it is a clone, or at least what is considered a 15 class.

Yes, that is a 15 clone, very nice looking one, too. It seems like a lot of the 15 clones are in really nice shape.

I don't know if the pictures were reduced when you sent to my email, as they aren't very large. I will post the ones you sent me.
