The decal pattern is called Tiffany or Gingerbread.

Looks to be in good condition. Congratulations.

I think it's one of the model 15's, also, because the tensioner is on the side rather than the front. I'd buy it just because I don't have anything with those decals (yet:-D) but also because people love the 15's for their free motion quilting abilities. Looks like that one could be a treadle version!

What are they charging? I know that some people don't want to pay much for these machines but I think I would pay up to around $100 for it. There is lots of info, on this model, on the internet so any repairs that it may need could be easily done.

I'd buy it. The decals are in very good condition.

Unbelievable - I just came in to ask questions about my new girl and lo and behold, I think it's the same one! I paid $30 for mine, I just could not pass her up.

Have you found out what they are yet?

Someone said it was a 66 and someone else said it's a 15. I have both and there a similarities and differences in both to yours. What's the serial number on it? Then you could look it up and find out exactly what it is. I'll post a pic in a minute.

Thanks! It's G1788578, which looks like it's from 1912ish but I can't figure the model.

Oh wow, I see what you mean! It looks closer to the 66, but definitely has pieces of both (plus a couple of things that are different still). This is my first vintage Singer so I'm completely lost, thank you for your help!
