I recently purchased a Free-Westinghouse sewing machine from the 1930-40s, model ALB (I think), and I find it only uses a certain very specific type of needle: CC1221 (Schmetz 100). I know these have been discontinued, so I'd like to know if anybody out there knows where I can purchase these--from somebody's stash maybe? Also, I need bobbins, since it only came with the one in use. I've been sewing on it since I got it, and I must say I'm impressed! It only does straight stitching, plus a bunch of other "fancy" stuff if one uses the several attachments that came with it, but I'm happy just straight sewing. I really like it, so I'd like to make it more functional by having a bigger supply of needles and bobbins for it. Thanks all in advance!!!

Ya know, I think I have not only got the needles, but I have a Free Westinghouse buttonholer (in box with instructions) I may even have a set of attachments in a tin... I will look tonight.
