This antique original machine comes in a sleek black color with a locking case for easy portability. Made in the United States, this Singer sewing machine is a prized collectible for sewing enthusiasts and collectors alike. The Model 15 features a compact design and is a valuable piece of history from the Singer brand. I believe it does work the cord is damaged and needs to be replaced one of the cords on the foot pedal has already been replaced the other one needs to be the locking mechanism works it has the key it comes with a button holder and some other accessories see pictures it appears to be all original and working we have not tested it due to the fact of the chords it is sold as is please make sure you want this if you can buy it there are no returns looking online these go anywhere from $200 to $400 each most of the ones I looked at didn't have the wooden case they had a cardboard case or or a vellum case this one is a wooden rounded top case the handle on the case has tape on it so it appears to be some damage on that it is very heavy that's why the shipping is so high I will refund any excess shipping if there is any but I doubt there will be due to the weight
