Ummm. I don’t think so on this particular machine on the St. Louis Craig’s List.
The machine shown appears to be an embossed Model 31, which is different from the embossed Family Rotary. An easy way to tell them apart is by the serial number when you can get it. The model 31 SN will begin with “31X”, and the FR number will start with “FR”.
The two machines look very similar, but the T-shirt plate is one of the differing features. I think that the plates will interchange between a Japanned FR and an embossed FR, but I don’t think they will with a 31. It’s smaller and has a different shape.
