And the scroll face machines are the older machines. The straight lines faces started in late 1940's.
Cherry decals - I think she means "cherry" as in really sweet, great looking, great condition decals.
Did Featherweights have chrome handwheels?
Sorry! By "cherry" I meant in perfect condition. And yes, the older ones had chrome handwheels and scroll faces. It was in the mid to late '40's that they changed to the face plate with the straight lines.
