I haven't used mine since I need to find the little ball bearings for the pitman rod.

Playswithcolor has 031503 Free #5 bought at end of WW1 1918 or 1919?
Monica's Free 0240726 - is it a Free # 5?
Nana's Free 827313 - is it a Free #5?
My friend Deb's Free #5 - C76088
My Free #5 - C83642
Do you all have the Free #5? Does anyone else have one with pending patent dates written on the cabinet top?
Does anyone have a Free with patent dates on the slide plate? If so, what are the dates?
Nancy
Please make sure I have the correct serial numbers. I want to try and figure out why two of the serial number start with 'C'? Something to do with patent's still pending on those machines or a different factory?

We'll take William so he can drive, haul the Uhaul trailer with all of our goodies, and manhandle the machines, and remind us to stop and eat!

Got to hit some "dives" with yummy good food. One of my favorite shows is "drive-in, diners, and dives". We will need to stop at some of those places along this expedition.

My DH has a neice that lives in Washington State and if I were planing a trip to see her I would definitaly wing down and go with you guys. Sounds like sew much fun.
The stories everyone has told are really touching.
With the long weekend coming up I wonder how many of these "older Ladies" will be finding new homes?
I know we will be keeping an eye out.

Sorry, I must have posted at the same time as several others did..when i went to look for my post it wasn't right at the end of the thread, so I assumed it must have dissapeared! After re-writing all of it..with one finger because I had to hold the faceplate just right to see it...I left the thread, clicked the email link that tells me a new post has been made..I check it and found the first post i made as well as the UGGGH! post and the one I rewrote...oh well, I will know to check next time..P>S> i had it all neatly spaced too, but it didn't post that way.
