White Rotary
Glad to see you saved the old girl. I learned to sew on one like it 60 years ago. My daughter has it now. It sews very well and doesn't require as much fussing as a FW. They are a good old machine. I would love to have ours, but not enough room for a treadle and we are too old to get it upstairs. Yours is portable, although not light for sure. Thanks again for saving her.

This is my first earlier White Rotary and my first bentwood case of any brand. The machine itself seems complete. It does have the bobbin case and (I hope) a bobbin. It's frozen solid, most likely has some severe pin rash and there is some slight silvering of the decals. Overall though, I think it will clean up pretty nicely. A couple glue joints are coming loose on the case, it needs a new bottom and is missing a hinge, but those are minor problems and it too will clean up very nicely.
Which needles do these take and who do I call to get it dated?
Thanks,
