Edit: Just looked at it again. Comes with accessories but can't remmber if it said anything about the manual. Case is in good condition but not pristine. Who knows?? Maybe this was meant to be mine.

It isn't right either,it sticks when re-assembling and thread is totally stuck in it when attempting to thread the tensioner is too tight and erratic when trying to select a tension. Do I need a new one? See photos
Thanks Jane

Your machine decals are the RAF. What year is your 15-88?

The singer site dates it to 1938. Thanks for looking at my photos, you've been a great help, and I'm so happy to be part of this thread, as everyone has been so friendly and willing to share their knowledge! Now I've got to get to cleaning this machine!

I just posted this in the Main forum, not sure how to get it over to the virtual Vintage machines.... it's under "singer 301 question".... text below:
Billy, I need your help sir... or anyone elses, please.
What machine is this... and which version? I think it's a 301-b, right, but with the short flip up piece. aka, it's not a 'chopper' lol. But it looks like the motor is inside the machine itself...
What is this sucker worth? Will this one FMQ, drop dogs and sew great? Pictures, hopefully attached...
Is it worth $150 or what?
301b? in corner cabinet open
