It looks like my first sewing machine that I got in middle school, mid-1960's. It had cams that were inserted to do the decorative stitches. I took several tailoring classes on that machine when I was 12. I made a plaid, box-pleated wool skirt and matching wool lined tailored jacket. Lots of good memories made with her. Gave her to a young friend who did not have a machine when DH gave me an electronic machine for my birthday 40 years later. Unfortunately, he doesn't get the concept of 'collecting' sewing machines. Best of luck with your new baby. With a good cleaning, she'll be as good as new.
