348 is the same construction as the 347, Janis and Joe. The only difference is that 348 takes decorative cams, the same black ones used by the Swing Needle machines (206/306/319). It's the same blue color as the 347. Made in Great Britain. I think it was a '66-'68 machine, or thereabouts. I have one in my collection, and I also had a 347 that I gave to my niece. I never sewed on mine much. I bought both the 347 and 348 at estate sales and cleaned them up and made sure they would sew, and that was it.
