My son finally was able to bring my Flying Man treadle machine, a Singer Model 15 clone, up to me from San Jose. He purchased it for me in San Jose a little over two years ago. There are a couple of places on the parlor cabinet where the trim is chipped off and some white paint had been dripped on on it. Love the face plate roses. It needs a treadle belt and some deep cleaning and oiling. Should be interesting to test drive/sew with it and see how it compares with a real Singer Model 15. It came with a box of attachments, cabinet keys (in Chinese) and a manual in English that says Shanghai, China on the back. Sorry for the last picture, could not figure how to remove a duplicate.

Caroline,

That's pretty neat. I need to get me one of those Chinese clone. They are sooo very ornate.

what a treasure of a find. and to think you waited 2+ years for it. I agree the roses on the face plate are gorgeous. enjoy.

Stunning!!!

What a gorgeous machine! Well worth the wait I would say. That one would surely be hard to pass up especially with that cabinet attached.

Interesting looking machine!

Very cool! I've seen a couple Chinese clones go by. The Chinese designers seem to favor much brighter decorations than the Japanese do.
I like the faceplate too, and the decorated stitch regulator cover.

Wow; neat "bling" on your machine. Never heard of that one before.

Absolutely beautiful, and probably one I'll never ever see "in person" fun to know what all is out there, thanks for sharing and enjoy!!

Seems like they come in red and blue now, I don't think the blue is in this listing but it's in others.
I kinda want one.
