I have my mother's that I remember seeing under the Christmas tree in the early fifties. It is in a wooden rounded top caring case and has every foot imaginable. When mom passed it came to live with me and has always been stored since then. I tried to pass it on to one of my siblings, but, no takers. I will always keep it in the family. These machines are a wonderful workhorse. I went on line to download a manual since it was missing and I found a site that ages the machine by the serial number of where and when it was made. This one is from 1954 and was made in portsmith, ms.
