This is from the early 1900's. It has the back clamp foot which I think makes it a 66-1. Everything moves on it! I'm in the process of cleaning it. When I was cleaning the bottom underside with just sewing machine oil the rag turned black like I was wiping shoe polish with it! I am very excited to have found this machine and paid $20. Then went to a sewing store where they had an OSMG hidden in the back and so now I have a side plate and a needle clamp!
I' ve read over the info from all of you and am going to give it my best shot to make it work. I'm not that worried about the missing decals. I'm sure there is a story there somewhere.
Oh - and when I was paying for it the lady at the flea market said "you could make a lamp out of it". I think she saw the horror on my face and quickly said "do you want to use it?" And in the sewing machine store the clerk said "do you want to leave it for a tune up". That would be some tune up. The OSMG would probably want to put a pencil in his eye instead!!!!
