I purchased the White Rotary today. The bobbin "door" is stamped with patent dates. 1st is 1890, last is 4/18/1911.
It is missing the bobbin case. I called a local repair person when I got home. He works on old machines(his wife has many) & will be looking for 1 for me. I'm also going to have him go over it. I was able to get it for $75 instead of $89.
I may have a boat anchor if we can't find a bobbin case & a new belt but it is colorful & pretty.
Are vintage machines as addicting as quilting?
