    There not all that rare, I have seen plenty on Ebay and can kick my behind for not bidding one one a few months back. It went for $57 and had the case/manual with it. They look really neat. Lots of information to be found on them. Lucky to find one under a $100 in really good shape with case/manual/clamp

    What he said.

    I haven't figured out the dating or value on all of the 20's (yet), but the value seems to be all over the place on Ebay.

    I'd place a large enough piece of felt under the spool on your 15-91 to keep it from wearing on the paint. It appears to be too nice to scratch up.

    I started a refurb/refinish on a 201-2 cabinet last night....I'd rather be hanging.

    Keep it in the car for field repairs and demos during group hangs? Either way, that's a good looking machine!

    Really small, hard to see how you could align the stitching and keep the fabric in place and spin the wheel. Not practical for big projects like a tarp or hammock.
    Sure it can be done, but it would be a pain.
    Video of the toy machine in action.

    But it is cool looking.

    Well read some last night and could'nt find a way to pinpoint an exact year of manufacture but narrowed it down to 1926-1949 from what I read the lady I bought it from said it was what her mother learned to sew on. It is in pretty nice condition came with manual and box .As far as what its worth like gmcttr said the prices are all over the place from around $50-350 .....I really need to stop buying machines just picked up a 1952 featherweight yesterday also, needs some parts but not many motor and cord and thats it everything else is there.....My girlfriend thinks im crazy lol

    I'm like you, went on a buying binge on the old machine's about a year or so ago. Finally stopped. I now have two 401A's, a 66, 15-91, treadle 127 and a hand crank 99. All in working condition.
