I too was born in 1943 and unfortunately no machines were made during the years 1942 thru1946 in the United States. There were some machines made in Scotland but skipped 1942-1946 also. The war must have stopped the making of these wonderful machines since they were all metal. Now I have to decide if I want a machine a few years younger than me or go with a machine several years older than me. It won't make a lot of difference because I love all of these little machines but how nice to have one on your birth year.
