Vintage Singer Sewing Machine SCORE!

Mr. Blackbird scored me this pretty baby off of craigslist- for free! They said it works but I am going to get a new power cord and a copy of the manual, can't wait to start using it!



It came with the cabinet table and stool as well



all tucked away

For Free? Wholey crap! My Grandma has one of those with a huge metal foot petal, no stool and in worse shape than yours!
That's awesome!

Janice- it really depends on what condition the machine is in, as well as the condition of the cabinet. They could be worth from 30 dollars to well over a hundred, from what I've seen on eBay.

Do you happen to know what model your machine is? Also what size/type bobbins it uses? I have one jsut like it and went to use my new package of bobbins but they are the wrong size!
I can't find anything about it...
*Sigh*

Eliea- it's model 15-91. Not sure about the bobbins, when I took it in for servicing they picked some out for me.

When I knew the model, I was able to purchase an original manual for it on eBay for under 10$ that was really helpful too.

I had one exactly like this in the 1950s - and I still use the cabinet to stand my present machine on - I can't remember what I did with the machine that was originally in there! Connie.

What model is your machine? I think I have the same one. Have you found a source for parts?
