Hi, I got this machine & cabinet from my son's girlfriend. Anyway I love the cabinet and will redo it but the sewing machine is really rusty and I don't know if fixable. Anyway anyone know what year it could be? When the sewing machine is down the front stays down and goes up when machine is put in place. Also a picture of some bobbins (I'm thinking they are bobbins) in drawer. Thanks & have a HAPPY EASTER

Wow, great acquisition - if the machine is beyond redemption, and I bet it could be brought back nicely, then you could always look for another to drop into that cabinet. That will clean up nicely with some TLC.

It appears to be a Free sewing machine. There is a lot of info including a manual on the ISMACS site:

and those are the bobbins...guard those...very hard to come by.

What is on top: Free Sewing Machine Co. Chicago. I also found a serial # M809178. The decals are ok in some areas. A couple of more pictures of a decal buy the plate and one on the inside of the arm.
