What machine is this?
 

Is this a Model 15 with fiddle base? I believe the machine attaches to the top with hinges on the bottom shown in the second photo. This machine was mounted on a industrial treadle extension leaf table model 76.

Thanks.

31-16? Not sure it looks like it has a lot of harp space.

Looks like a Singer Class 16, IM or Improved manufacturing.

I saw one of those when I was camping once. It was on a treadle. VERY elegant machine. Very large and HEAVY. I want one. I wonder where the serial number is?

At the back, opposite side to where they are on later models.

THAT is one tough machine. very cool to see it still on a treadle stand

Love it!

I have two early versions of the IF - Improved Family.

Thanks everyone. I am hoping to locate one of these soon for a restored industrial treadle and top
I have.

You are amazing. Just ask and you have one, maybe even two.

I have a fiddle base treadle that a frind from CT gave to me last year....think I have a photo of it...........I just got a new belt for it, have not tried sewing on it yet............the cabinet looks good too....nope, cant find the photo...something has happened to my 'puter here recently and a whole ton of my photos have disappeared out of the folders and out of the backup too...............no idea............sorry,i was hoping I could help you with your fiddle base........
