Anyone have any information for me???

Hi Jan,
Beautiful machine. I worked on a White VSIII that looked just like it from the Teens. Can't help out on AG Mason except I have one of their Rotaries missing the Slide Plate and Bobbin Case that is a White Rotary "Clone".
Good Luck and enjoy
Jon
Thanks Jon--
Maybe White private "badged" for AG Mason. Will the White Rotary slide plate and bobbin case work as a replacement??

Jan,
That's what I though or the patents expired and they just copied. My AG Mason (the paper people?) is badged "Florence Rotary" and from the Teens or early Twenties and I believe a White Rotary from that period would work, though it's not high on my priorities list. I'm not too well versed in White machines, my intererest being in first Davis and second Singer. I know there are groups and individuals who are White fanatics who can probably be of more help.
