I was at our local Salvation Army today dropping off bags of clothing (cleaning out closets :)) and saw a beautiful White Rotary sitting in a little cabinet all by itself. I just had to have it. "Brownie" looks to be in good shape, missing the 2 thread spindles from the top of the machine, but other than that I can't see anything wrong with it. It has a box of accessories and 5 bobbins. I bought it for $35.00 and then went home to get DH to help me move it to our lqs for some TLC and have the wiring checked before I use it. It is a 43X 48790 and DH said it was patented in 1937. I've looked online for a manual and found a generic one, but nothing specific for the model 43 that is free and downloadable. I am very excited to have our tech look at it and then get it home to use. Here are some pics.
