Yes, I do too. I have a white fw.And it sews so good. Dates to the 1950s i believe. It does make you wonder what the woman who bought it new,made on it. Or the women after her. I recently acquired a handcrank that I call Rosie because of roses on the bed of her. And it dates to the 1800's. I told my dh that considering that time frame, she probably was a woman who had some money, cause these probably would have been considered very fancy machines back then. And I imagine her showing her friends (who would all ooo and ahhh) when they saw it. Because I think back then husbands saved every penny they could get for a while just to buy their wife a regular treadle to make the family clothing. So...I'm with you, I do think of all those things. I love your pink one btw.
