Original Singer Sewing Machine No 15-3* (treadle) Instruction manual - abt 1900

Description

Just for the fun of it!
This poor old thing was definitely used and is in "pieces & parts" - but is still great fun! Not sure if this was for the Singer number 15-30 or 15-31 but doesn't make much difference. Both models appeared on the scene some time after 1895 and this old, larger format, manual dates to that early period of production. It appears most of the manual is there but there are likely some missing pages. It's together pretty well through the basic instructions but has several damaged pages in the attachments section. No back cover, many bends, tears, etc.
one reference quote: "
The Singer Model 15
Among the first sewing machine to be produced, was the Singer Model 15. It was mechanically altered in appearance from the original family machine. It initially came with a fiddle shaped table or a hard crank machine. The model also came with cabinets.
The model turned out to be one of the most successful in the industry for more than 100 years. During this period the model underwent several innovations to improve on its performance."
