    She looks like she's in wonderful condition. Hope you can find the cord and get her humming along!

    Great Find! You know, the more I see of these older machines, the more I'm happy to own a few. All of my vintage machines, including the two treadles are operable and sew very well. I enjoy using them. Makes me wonder why I spent so much money for a modern machine......However, saying that, my main machine also does embroidery and that was the motivation for purchasing it. But for everyday sewing and quilting....give me a Singer 301, featherweight, or my 115 treadle, or my White VS treadle, or.......sad isn't it, this collection addiction:)

    This is the home version of my first machine. I had the industrial model. They are true work-horses. Enjoy!

    Oh gosh...my Mom had a White for years, and made many outfits for a family of 8 on it. I learned to sew on a White. For a reliable stable machine you can't beat it.

    I think Janome machines are made by the White Co. but I could be wrong.
