Therese, a "Blackside" is a machine that was made with little or no chrome or nickle plating. During WWII, these metals were needed for the war effort, and the cosmetics of the sewing machines were "secondary". The faceplate, and other parts of the machine were black instead of shiny silvery color. There are also blackside attachments...
