Bojangles, the seller now insists the machine is a 1926 or 8 and her MIL was its only owner. (How old was the MIL??). Maybe she'll have something tomorrow that will help me date it. Not that it really matters. What matters is if it looks decent and sews well. IN the picture, it looks like it says Leader, nor New Leader, but she does have the manual.
If Miss Leader comes home tomorrow I won't be posting my pictures unless you want pictures of her snuggled in my car trunk. It'll be at least Sunday before I can round up someone to bring her in. Some of the family's headed to Lansing. My grandson is playing in the state basketball finals in the morning.
