I have a machine like the one you have Only mine is a 1952 date......same case though....the one thing I am missing is the key to the case and wonder if all the keys work for all the same cases? I bought mine aat least 10 years ago at a yard sale for 25.00....it is in Great shape.
The Only thing is that it is one heavy machine and case so if it was to be shipped it would cost quite a bit.
