AWW SWEET!!!
That just made the price of that machine jump through the roof!! What did you guys pay for it anyway?
You need to make sure you be careful with the machine and treadle and make sure you take your time and cleaning it. Items with that designation were made from 1948-1952 or 53, and they commend high prices from collectors and some that only collect that moniker.
Congratulations on your find
