Bojangles, the Morse is a very pretty machine. I like the color and the Art Deco designs.

Nancy Beautiful machine - she looks so clean and pristine! I really like the 2 or 3 (I wasn' sure) color decal on the bed. Great find! Cindy |

http://littlerock.craigslist.org/atq/2316657792.html She is supposed to get the S/N for me when she gets home from work. Was it common for these to be electrified? And is it hard to turn them back into a treadle? Because it has been modified is it even worth it? If I looked the serial number up right she was made in 1916! So honestly, is it worthless because it has been electrified? And would it be hard to take it back to treadle? Is this pretty much a straight stitch machine? I'll search and read a little soon, got to go cook dinne! Darn life things that get in the way of my hobbies...lol |

It's not as heavy as a 99 weights about 15#. They use the same needle as the 99 just bobbin looks to be like the 15. I have sewed with her just to see how she does, and it sews fast you have to get used to it. It also has a tinny sound when sewing. You can remove acouple of things and her dress comes off so she can be oiled. I have only seen them on e bay until Tammy got one. I took a picture of her without her dress on so you can see her body.

Okay, here is my machine. I thougth I took more pictures, but they were all black. I'll have to try again later. There are a number of feet (i think) and other things that go with this, but I don't know what they are. Also, I tried to get info from SingerCo but couldn't find how to search. On the cover plate of the maching is a list of patent dates, the last being April 7, 1896. There is a tiny plaque on the top base of the machine that says H493568. Is that the number I should be searching under? Thanks.

Foxflower that is a Singer Model 15, allotted on July 2, 1906. Wow, I did not know that the model 15 ever had the Sphinx decal - at first glance I thought you had a Model 127 because of the decal! Yours is the first 15 I have seen with a Sphinx Decal on the machine.
Yes, the serial number tells you all about your machine from the Singer site. Nancy |
