Another Kenmore M#117.552 S#384593-Both of these machines are in the same kind of cabinet. When I called Kenmore, I was told they were at least 20 years old as there were no records for them.
And then the Free machine.
Minnesota machine-I really like this one.

I am restoring a kenmore 117-580 (the one you refer to as "ugly"). Do you still have this? I am looking for the buttonholer. Do you happen to have a picture of the buttonholer? Thank you for any help.
