Default Your opinion on this White, please

We don't see a lot of US machines over here (Norway). Now this came up, and I have reserved it. Owner doesn't know anything about it - type, model, vintage...
What do you think?

It appears to be a White VS3 (VSIII)

here is some research for the White Company

here is a digital version of the Manual

ROCK solid machines, IMO

It is very nice looking. I don't know a thing about it unless I could see the head, but the cabinet is very nice.

That is a very nice looking machine! I'm rather partial to Whites.

Looks like it's in great shape. Make sure the shuttle and at least 1 bobbin is with it. They're not as easy to find as the Singer ones are.

I have this machine and it is my favorite of all my vintage sewing machines. Like Rodney said, just be sure it has at least one working shuttle and some bobbins.

Years ago, my first machine was a white Rotary industrial machine. They are strong, easy to use, and as long as you remember to oil them, they will work forever if gently treated. Nice find!
