Hi Shirley, that's a model 15-90 you've got. Dawn, that's a "JC" on your 15-91, manufactured at the Singer plant in Quebec.

I agree with Charlee that it looks like a C. The Singer site in the OP didn't tell me anything either, although I printed the certificate. I have a Model 15 also. The serial number was released in 1935 in a block of 35000. My father bought the machine new for my mother shortly after they were married in October 1936. How do I tell which version of a model 15 it is?
Lots of great information in identifying which particular machine you have. Though I don't remember if it got into the particulars of a 15-90 versus a 15-91. I think I would be better able to tell the differences between a 66, 99, 201 and 15 series though after reading it all.

Very helpful links!
I have 3 vintage Singers: a 401A, which I use most; a featherweight Centennial edition 1951, which I take to classes and retreats - what a little gem!; and a model 27 treadle fiddle base with coffin case built in 1889, this one needs some work.
