I have a Free-Westinghouse machine similar to yours but with a smooth finish. That was the machine my mother had and that I first learned how to sew on. My mother sold hers, but my sister and I found one at an estate sale that looked just like hers, although in a different cabinet. I bought it, and it has been sitting in my house for several years. I was afraid to try it out since I had heard it takes its own brand of needles. It's just kind of a nostalgia thing for me now.
