Oh, if you need extra bobbins, they're cheap on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Style-Sewing-M.../dp/B001UCGZXI. I read somewhere that Brother 155 and 156 bobbins are almost identical, but 1/8" difference in height, so make sure you get the 156's.
Thanks so much, Jennifer! Your info helps. I own/have owned many vintage machines and was stumped at not being able to find a date for this newer one. I figured you folks would be able to help me figure it out. I got the bobbin case today and she now sews beautifully! Gotta keep her!
