I thought it was a 1905 model because the plate was dated with several dates so I figured it had to be the youngest date which was 1905. Older dates on the plate went back to the mid 1800's
It runs great!! I have used it a number of times for quilt making and garment making. I just recently oiled her all up and replaced the belt. It is a very quiet machine all the way around and doesn't miss a stitch.
