Buying a 15-91 thats missing parts in a hacked up cab,, would be rare.. if you did no one would call you cheap....

well it just goes to show we just don't know what we have.....as far as to the true value of your machines,,

so many of these sellers are young and grew up in a family that never used a sewing machine, granny dies, mom never used one so they get it , it could be a 60's or 70's style , yet to them it's antique, ye sit's older than they are..

They don't have any idea on it's value, but the yhave been told new it cost over $500, which in most cases is true,, soif they ask half the cost of new it's a fair asking price..

The flip side of that ,, yesterady I replied to a local add, old sueing machine ,, no photo ,, nothing ,,, just old machine, I ask the what where when question/s she replied giving those BUT it was sold, she put it on facebook and sold it before her add came out on C/L, the price $24. ok it's a 53 ? 66 in a hall cab.. The best part she has to deliver it ,, meaning she will at least put 10 $ in gas , meaning she got 14 $ , you know very well her and hubby will go,, hit the hamburger stand ,, meaning they will be in the hole selling that machine.

AND she has to wait til this week to get the money ..

ok is it just me or are the pictures of this leading me to believe that someone mounted a 1950s cabinet top to a treadle cabinet? Something strikes me as odd with how that machine is sitting in the cabinet.


Electric is needed to run that light and I see a motor back there too. All original?

Looks like most of those machine attachments are curtain hooks. I wonder how you attach those to the machine?

That's why it is rare! The hard to find, rarely seen drapery hook attachment!

I just saw one of these in our local Habitat ReStore, in a Danish blond cabinet, for $50. My OSMG refers to them as the Chevy Vega of the Singer line-basic, no frills, but runs like a champ.
