This is sooo exciting!

My grandmother had one just like it, including the case, but the case was missing the handle. I remember her sewing on it. It was an old machine when I was young. I would think that it may date back to the 20's, 30's. Just think, if you lose electricity, you can still sew.

I remember my grandmother having a machine that had the "bullet" bobbin.
If my 40 year old memory is right...( I was 10 when she got sick and moved out of her house)... the bobbin shuttled back and forth?
Lucky girl! I'd love to have Nan's machine!
