I saw a 15 at a garage sale. walked on past it. Later as I was paying I looked again. What was that by the tensioner?. yep, a 115.
Donated it to the VSM museum in Tulsa, They didn't have one yet. Now they have a few. |

All the details that have been described in this thread about 115, is exactly what i see on the machine. So what dont I missing?? Please help me to understand. Thank you very much for you help
It looks like you may not have read all the digits (G 2728288). According to http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...l-numbers.html G- 2727501 2729500 115 2000 January 6 1913 While there have been mistakes in the serial number lists, the majority of mistakes are not getting all the digits. Also, "G" serial numbers actually started over with a "0" in front and it covered 14 years. Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do. Not affiliated with off-site link(s) |

You are welcome. It happens frequently and especially with the "G" numbers. Sometimes, the digits are hard to decipher. It really helped that you had a good picture of the serial number and it was easy to read.
