Fabric Whisperer posted photos of her machine and a parlor cabinet that had feet. I noticed that the feet have almost the same detail as the feet in my Eldredge Two Spools parlor cabinet; difference is that Fabric Whisperer's feet have a W while mine doesn't.

Did just one factory/blacksmith make this type of "feet" with just a different motif in the center circle and then sell to different sewing machine companies?

Kathie,
Thanks for posting photos! I like that 15-90 cabinet; too cute. It looks like a serving cart instead of a sewing machine cabinet. Never knew that Singer sold that. Or was that something that someone had done to spruce up the cabinet and make for dual functionality.

Thanks, Billy! So is it the yellowish color on the blossom tips that make it "Brown"? She is a 66K, serial #F9615228, allotted between January-June, 1920. She is a handcrank with back mounting attachments. I haven't tried to clean her yet other than just dust her off and gave her a welcome hug. Oh, I did give her crank a few turns. I agree the decals are in pretty good shape.

Thank you Vintagemotif. I got the machine at a garage sale for $40. Singer can not completely adentify it as records are lost. They seem to think it is a 15-91. Nancy is the one that posted the pictures for me. Thank you Nancy. You are a sweetheart. Kathie

If the machine has a potted motor, it is a 15-91. But if your machine has an external motor (or added motor) than it isn't a 15-91. It could be 15-90 or 15-89. More info to read with pictures of the differences in the machines:
