Default Trying to date a White Rotary

Need some help dating a White Rotary sewing machine in a Martha Washington walnut cabinet. Pretty decent condition, electric wiring will need replacing, but have box of original attachments. The Serial number is FR 3338215. I have looked on treadleon site (no help) and I have the phone number for Husquvarna, but don't want to wait till Monday. Any help would be appreciated.

Try emailing the serial number to Katie Farmer. She has extensively researched the White Sewing Machine Company and has vast amounts of information.

Thanks for your help. I contacted Husquvarna today and the woman was very helpful. The White Rotary in the Martha Washington stand is a 1927, I was also able to confirm that the White Family Rotary treadle that I have was made 2/26/1906 and the Florence Rotary is a 1910. I love to find out this information and really enjoy the history involved with these old machines. Next project, I have promised myself will be made on one of the old machines.
