Thanks, Janey and JoeJr., for the welcome and the helpful links! I've managed to attach a couple photos this time (I think! lol), although neither the wheel nor the presser foot are visible, as they'd already been removed for cleaning. But you are correct that the wheel is spoked and the presser foot is side mounting. It's subclass/variant # isn't that important to me - I think she's a beauty, regardless - I just hadn't known that additional numbered classifications beyond "66", "15" etc. existed So my question was more just to learn more about these marvels of machinery. I imagine I'll end up owning more than one vIntage machine
but want to be much more knowledgeable about them before I invest in the next one.
Until last year, I lived in Lawrence, KS - just 30 minutes East of Leonf in Topeka. Now I live in the home where I grew up, another 40 miles East in a suburb of Kansas City, just 4 miles from the Missouri border. I had friends who grew up in Garden
City, though - there's not much that's further SW than that in KS!
