Also got a Free Sewing machine Co, Chicago with what looks like 8920 8or2 on the backside on a plate. Really hard to read and hoping with a little cleaning, I will be able to read it better. On the front plate it says

Lauren, I can't wait to see the pictures! The Free with the SN of 89208 or 89202 fits right in with the Free's that we have in this shop. My Free is a C83642, but Nana has an 827313 and Trish has an 873674, which would make your Free about a 1911 or 1912 machine.
