I have had mine since the early 70's. It was my grandmother's machine originally. She had given it to my mother - who gave it to me. 1936 - 221. It really is the only one I sew on although I have other machines. Yup - my best friend. All the attachments, original instruction book. I do try to remember to oil and clean occasionally but this baby will do whatever I ask even when I've neglected to do so for awhile. Put a big enough needle in it and it will sew anything! I make clothes and curtains and upholstery - you name it. But mostly I just piece and quilt.
