Did you see the Serial Number?

My 66-1 was made in 1909 but electrified some time in late 1930s or early 40s, taken out of it's treadle and put in a box base. When I got her the first thing I did was take the Frankenstein motor off and put her back in a treadle. She was so happy she just glowed!! She has the brown lotus decals.
