Default What do I have?

Please help me identify this machine? I'm getting it from a dear friend who is moving, but am not really into vintage machines - It does work - needs a new belt installed but she has the belt. My daughter doesn't like electric machines - lol - so am getting it for her to piece her quilts on. It has a roll of attachements, but no instruction book/booklet. I have other pics but not sure if I even know how to post the pics - lol

Hi Shirley! Looks like you have an early model 15 with Sphinx decals that are in excellent shape! Do you have the serial number off of the brass plate in front of the pillar?

I haven't picked the machine up yet, so don't have that right now - I'm attaching a couple of other pics

I would say your daughter is getting one whopper of a gift. Nice machine.

From what I can make out of the serial number by enlarging the pics, you have an 1894 Singer model 15. What a treasure!!
