I have a black FW that was given to me by my mother. She bought it back in the 50's when her sisters husband was selling them and talked her into buying one. I used it at school in my sewing class in the 60's. Just a few years ago I gave it to my daughter. They are great little machines. My mom is now 91 years old and still wishes she could see well enough to sew. They are great machines for sure.
