They look alike except for the cabinet! Do you know how to age one? Have you tried to sew on yours at all?

Ok doing some research I found out the Free Manufacturing company started in 1910 and made machines in Rockford, Ill until 1958 when it moved the company to LA, California for about 10 more years until it faded out.
So I would guess this machine is between 1910 and 1920?
