White 1315, early 60's?

 I bought this machine at the Catholic Thrift Store in town on July 24, 2012.  Richard and I stopped by there and this was the only machine that I found and it was under a bunch of other stuff.  I bought it for $5.  I figured for $5 I could take a chance on it.  
She is a White 1315.  Serial # 14801.  I really can't find very much info on this machine except that it was made in Japan possibly in the early 60's.  I can't find any records for dating this machine, so if you read this and know more info than what I have, please let me know.  
She was a little gunky but as always, I took her apart, cleaned, and oiled her.  She sews fantastic!  
 After the cleaning she looks a little better.  
 Here is a sample of her stitches.  I'm so glad that I found her for $5.  
 I think that I may have Richard to build a base for her when he gets time.  I have 2 White brand machine and they seem to sew rather well.

    I just purchased this same model machine at a thrift store. Mine isn't feeding the fabric well. I'll have to mess with it more. Have you found out anything more on this model?

    I just purchased mine for $40 and the wonderful lady threw in an anniversary Singer from 1951. Unfortunately, I know nothing about these things. I'm looking for information on cleaning them and servicing them. Thank you <3

    I have a model 1315 it belonged to my Great Aunt and was given to my mom and she just passed and I inherited the machine. If I remember right mom said the machine was bought in the late 1950’s. Unfortunately the manual isn’t with it. I’ll keep looking for it since I’m having to clean out my parents house.
