[QUOTE=Janis;4941699]Fluffygirl, was your 1945 FW in the group of Sept. 19, 1945? Mine is in that group. I know there were some FW made between July of 1941 and Sept. 1945 that are not listed in the FW serial number listings. I'm thinking that the numbers were assigned to a certain model of machine but weren't all used for that model, and were used for others that they needed to make. Was her face plate originally black too? Mine isn't. Thank you for the info.
Janis, my machine was in the Sept. 19, 1945 allotment-serial # AG 528219. We didn't paint the faceplate, that is the original finish-sort of a gunmetal gray. The same color is on the presser foot lifter and the stitch regulator is all black with no outline paint. We didn't paint any of the original blackside components-just the body. It didn't come with any accessories, so I don't know if it had blackside feet with it. It's cool to find someone else with a "sister" machine.
