That is a 15 clone, and it looks like that bronze plaque on the front says Precision, which usually means made in Japan, which generally means 1950's or later.

That article about Webster on ISMACS refers to a letter written in the 1850's, and the Webster talked about in that letter probably bears little relation to the Webster name that is on these modern machines.

I just got two sewing machines back from my x. One is a Webster 15-91 clone! I will post pix as soon as I figure out how....

vannessaodom,

Your Webster machine is a post WW II badged HA-1 / 15 clone. It is an original electric machine.
I uses Class 15 bobbins and 15x1 needles.

With a good cleaning and oiling, a proper belt and some repair to the case it should sew really nice stitches.

This looks exactly like the one I have! I know nothing about it. It was my fiance's mother's machine. Any info you can provide would be awesome!

that last picture looks like one made by National.

The three sewing machines pictured in this thread have little in common other than the "Webster" name on them.
