I had heard of errors - particularly with the "G" numbers in the serial number lists. I actually saw a 66 a few years back in a thrift store. I quadrupled checked and the serial number was not one that had been allotted to a 66. It looks like you may have found another. According to http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...l-numbers.html yours should be a 115 rather than a 15. The serial number would have been allotted December 14, 1915. I believe you may have left out a digit to come up with the 1910 date.
I really like the decals. It was quite a while before I could get a machine with the "Tiffany/Gingerbread" decals. I now have a 15 and 115 with those decals. They aren't the greatest specimens, but they are mine.

Underneath, you can easily see the difference between the hook assembly - the 15 is the larger of the two.
