I have a machine that looks just like yours. Mine is a Franklin, made by White and sold at Sears. The model number is 851, Ser# 117851, We bought this at an estate auction. There was a note in the accessory box saying that she bought the machine with her first pay check in 1937. It came in a cabinet and has a stool and a rocking chair that matches the cabinet. (Don't know how to sew in a rocking chair?) There are all kinds of attachments and the bobbin are big around. She sews really good but to me sounds like a train coming through. Here are a few pictures of him. DH calls him Godzilla.
