which is 1904 and looks just like mine
ETA I take that back - mine does not have the T shirt plate, and from the gallery - it said 1904, once you're on the picture, it said 1908. If not for the T shirt plate, that looks almost exactly like mine.
I have a 1903 White Rotary with the same hand hole coverinstead of the T shirt plate. they were made that way for only a few years. When they started making the T shirt plate, they became White Family Rotary. That is why there is not any letters in front of the serial number.My machine number is 78327 and as far as I can tell was made in 1903. You are very lucky to have the little hand cover. Usually they are lost over the years. I was given just the machine and one drawer as the cabinet was falling apart and the irons were used for a table base. In the drawer was the little Hand hole cover !! I have since found another correct cabinet for this machine, and it was missing the litttle cover. I have not finished the cabinet yet, but the machine is ready to go. Really nice find !!!
The correct name for your machine is a White Rotary (without the word Family)
