Thank you for the info, Billy. I don't have accessories for it and only a small quick start type manual. Do you know where I can purchase these and is this considered a low shank machine or something else? If you wish, I can PM you with my email address for further info.
That is a badged machine (made by someone else for the white sewing machine Company) and I have seen the same type of Model 15 before but for the life of me I can not remember under what badged name was on it. You will find out that you will love this machine more than any other vintage machine you will own. These Japanese 15's were better made than the Singer counterparts and they are so smooth when you run them. The feed dogs will drop for you to FMQ and I have a Japanese 15 that is my go to machine and the only one that I use for FMQ. I took the motor off of mine and put it into my treadle and I just love it!!!!

Yes the low shank accessories will fit the machine no problem at all. It also uses the class 15 bobbins and the standard 15x1 needles.

Billy and all, Has anyone seen machines like these?
I find it interesting that there are two wheels. Wonder what type of sewing these were used for.

It looks like this one to me, and it is from the 90's - but the 1890's!
