Welcome HanNatNana. You have a beautiful Singer! Thank you for sharing your pics and story.
Elsie, you find the most interesting machines :) Thanks you for sharing.
It appears that Australia has some fantastic opportunities for collecting vintage sewing machines.

I was wondering if any members live close to Frederick, Oklahoma?

Seems as though I do have an early version of the 15-91. I looked at the shiny parts in a picture and didn't even notice it was a treadle, so thought an 88. My bad.

Photo Update 1930 White Rotary: Here is a photo of the cabinet. I think the lamp cord attaches to the missing motor (found replacement on ebay along which a spool pin - thanks Nancy!!). As far as being a cousin to the Grand Rotary, they were not made by the same company. White had several badged machines, a couple surprised me - Minnesota's, Franklin's, and Florence's. I think the Grand Rotary Damascus may have been sold by Montgomery Ward. A very nice highly sought after sewing machine.
Nancy was kind enough to share her vast knowledge and resources with me and I hope to have the SM up and running soon.
If you have extra time check out:

You have a neat machine there in a pretty cabinet. Hope you can get her up and running.
