She came with a case and several feet. should have taken a pic. forgot.
She did not have a plug on her cord when purchased, but
for $179 I got that taken care of.
she has some wear on the front AND I have not investigated how to clean her up from that aspect.
She sews like a charm. Her name is CeCe
Beautiful FW! Does anyone on here have a FW older than 1935? I have a first run of 1935 FW and was wondering if I have the oldest one here?

What is the date of the earliest FWs? I had some woman tell me that she had a FW from the 1920s. I told her that I thought they didn't start making them until the 1930s. She told me nope, that she had one from the 1920s. So, what type of "FW" did she have?
She may have had a Sewhandy made by Ossan(sp). The first FW came out in late 1933. Lots of people think that if its old and black it just might be a FW, others think that the Singer 128/28 and 99 is a FW because its smaller.

I wasn't thinking of the Sewhandy as an option, but I thought that she may have thought her 99 or 128 was the FW.
