For a machine that old, it has great decals!

lee231 - nice find. Thought you would like to know that what you have there is a 15 not a 99.

This is a good blog post to learn how to identify vintage Singers by their silhouette:

You tighten or loosen it to change stitch length.

Well, the head is not bad, but does have some crazing on the bed close to the throat plate. It has 3 extra feet and some needles. It is now at my house waiting for it's new owner to come pick it up.

That's a better deal than the one that I found for $35.00 :thumbup:

Those are soo cute. I truly have been bitten by the V bug. Today was my last day of work. So much more
time for rummaging around!

What to do??? very sad.
peace

That machine won't take a class 15 bobbin. I have a manual for a Kenmore similar to yours (The stitch control is horizontal rather than vertical) with pictures of the bobbin and bobbin case and attachments. Would you like to have it?

This is a pic of the bobbin being loaded. I hope you can determine the case from this.

It looks like a White FR case. I would try that first.

Nancy what is ringbone? Kathie[/quote]

Ringbone in horses is basically debilitating arthritis of the fetlock joint. He has a very hard time maneuvering with high and low ringbone, but he is very stoical and just keeps going.
