look at what I found, I was going to try to clean the dirty felt out of this drawer, while shaking it upside down over the trash can this piece of wood fell out. So you can see how it was done to hold the different attachments. They glued an extra piece of wood to the end to make it fit snug in the drawer.
Does this give you ideas? I have also seen a piece of wood inset in a drawer with holes drilled in it to hole the bobbins upright. Another idea to make.
But there is more, under this wood piece was 2 bills of sales. One in 1918 and resold I guess in 1949 by the first owner.
I still have not found a serial number.
The serial number is going to be the 3731583 number that's on the certificate...and I'm not sure about these later models....on the pre-1900 machines it's on the slide plate.
I'm betting that Jon will be along with answers to some of your other questions! Way cool to have the bills of sale!
