Want some info on my new Singer.
 

I got a beautiful 15-91 at an auction for next to nothing (only bidder). I would like some information about the cabinet and how old it might be. The machine is knee controlled because the foot pedal is up inside the cabinet. I was also wondering if the chair went with it?

the chair is not part of the set- other than it probably fits well under the cabinet. you can visit the singer site, enter the serial # and see what year it was 'born' my 15-91 was built in 1949. it looks like a nicely maintained machine. they originally came in a 'carrying case' so the cabinet is something an owner picked up & put the machine in. my cabinet looks nothing like your cabinet- older & not in such good shape. that cabinet looks a lot like the one my aunt's White sewing machine is in- she bought that machine back in the 60's- it is nice- a great buy- congratulations on winning the auction- they stitch the most wonderful straight stitch...

ISMACS has the cabinet listed as a #71. It originally came with a stool. I'd say the cabinet and machine are likely the same age.

Looks like an excellent machine and cabinet!

On the Singer's I've seen you can remove that foot pedal from the clip that holds it to the cabinet and bring it down to the floor if you are not used to the knee control.

Congrats on the lovely machine and cabinet!

Beautiful cabinet, and the machine looks nice too..You are one lucky lady. Enjoy

Congrats on your beautiful machine! I have one that I want to keep set up for FMQing, but love it so much I do most of my piecing on it also. Enjoy!

You got a good deal as that machine looks to be in beautiful shape and so does the cabinet. Those cabinets always came with a stool that had a lid that lifts and there is extra storage under the seat.

Congrats!! I hear the model 15 is very strong.... am still looking for one myself.

Thank you everyone. I ran the serial # and found out that she is a 1952.
