Members machinehead Posted October 25, 2016 Members Report Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) The machine is probably a Wheeler & Wilson D-12 or possibly a D-15. The Singer machine is probably a 12W class. Edited October 25, 2016 by machinehead Additional info Quote

I have seen two Singer 115 machines in my area, one that I have in operating condition with a hand crank, and a rusty one that I’ve been soaking with oil since October 2014 hoping to get it going again. (Not that it takes that long to get it freed up, it’s just one of those projects that got put way on the back burner and buried out of site. I’ll get back on it one of these days.) I have never fell into “like” with my 115. I don’t know why, but I don’t care much for any of the 15s for some reason. Just a “thing” with me I think. I’m trying to get over that with my like for my 16 that I just got. While I don’t use my 115, it’s interesting to me because it has parts of two different decal sets on it (Paperclip decals on arm and bed, knots and rectangles on the border.) It’s obviously a rebuilt machine, but I’m curious about who did the rebuild, and amused at the decals. CD in Oklahoma Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."

Singer got a bunch of great heavy old iron with the W&W designs. CD in Oklahoma Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."

bikermutt07 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 Can you identify this machine by these pics? And capabilities? This machine is listed locally for 200.00 Thanks. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
MADMAX22 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Looks like a 15 and way to pricey IMHO. Edited October 25, 2016 by MADMAX22 Quote
Members TinkerTailor Posted October 25, 2016 Members Report Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Pretty sure its a 201. http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/singer-class-201-sewing-machines.html It will sew blouses skirts and quilts real good. Edit: if it is a 15, here is a writeup by Wizcrafts.: http://www.wizcrafts.net/crafts/singer15-91.html Edited October 25, 2016 by TinkerTailor Quote "If nobody shares what they know, we will eventually all know nothing."

MADMAX22 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 Your probably right Tinker, I am not very good at the domestics. Heck it took me a hour or so to finally figure out what my Singer 101 was. This is a decent blog on identifying a few domestic groups. http://vssmb.blogspot.com/2011/07/visual-guide-to-identifying-singers_30.html Quote

The 201 also has a different slide plate. Quote
