Sewing machine

[Leatherman16]

Hello fellow leathercrafters! My brother-in-law sent the following pictures to me.  I don't know anything about this machine but I am considering purchasing it.  Does this look familiar to anyone?  If so please share what you might know, with me.

Thank you in advance for your replies!

This looks a lot like a repainted Singer 31-17 to me. It's hard to tell for sure without seeing the underside hook and transport mechanism.

That roller foot machine will be useful if you make decorative stitched boots, or leather vests, or chaps. It can also edge stitch medium temper belts, using #69 bonded nylon thread (possibly up to #92, depending on the nature of the shuttle mechanism). However, it may not be as useful for sewing cloth as a model that has a standard foot and multi-row feed dog.

Thanks for your help, it dose indeed look a lot like the Singer 31-17.  I've spent some time today reading about it.  I think I'm going to go pick it up and give it a try!!

Thanks again
