Hi friends, does anyone have a Frister & Rossman? One followed me home when I bought a belt for one of my machines. She's gorgeous, red lily decals in great shape and she's a hand crank. Wood case is in good condition, with key! I know it's a German machine but that's about it. I've run into the usual road block looking for information. Thanks for any help.

Whoo Hoo! I don't have one of them yet, so I would be on it like butter on corn.

Help! I am looking at a kenmore 117 812 for $25 with case. Looks to be in good shape. Should I get it? I am at the store now.

I have 2 or 3, including a Red Lily. They sew great; love the F & R machines.

It was born in 1948 just like me. Guess that is a sign

My newest FW has the centenial badge, but was dated Oct.26,1950. Did they start that early with the dating? It also has a spring on the thread spool and the 1940 FW doesn't. It it necessary for the thread to spool correctly? Just wondering.
