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.

How do I tell which version of a model 15 it is?

In a different post, a link to this site was provided: http://vssmb.blogspot.com/2011/07/vi...ingers_30.html

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. :)

Thanks for the links. I have 16 Vintage Singers, and I love to play with them 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.
