Were there potted motors in 1910? If so then it is a model 44, if not then I have no idea what it is. Anybody know?
Photo? It will be a zero, but it looks as if there is a number missing? I suspect you have a model 15...is the tension on the front of the machine or on the faceplate? I'm not sure when the potted motors were introduced, but I doubt it was as early as 1910...they seem to be a 40's/50's production...
