you are very lucky. I have one that I found at a flea market years ago and it runs beautifully. I just had to clean it up and get a new belt for it. My son made a pillow for his little sister on mine when he was a young teen. He didn't want to get in trouble for using my electric one so he used that one. I just recently ran across one at a yard sale but the guy wanted way to much for it

Congratulations! That's the closest one to mine I've seen. The only thing I see (so far) different is the handles on your drawers. Mine just has little wooden knobs.

How beautiful! I have one just like it that really works. I just hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. I am new and totally love this site. I find all of your quilt work exceptional. I am new to quilting and just hope one day to produce as beatiful work as I have seen on this site.

It's a beautiful machine. I also have one. We display it in the entry of our home with some old family pictures sitting on the lid of the cabinet. I made a small quilt and attached under the pressure foot. This gives us an opportunity to share the wonderful old machine, family pictues and a bit of my needle work. Enjoy, it's a wonderful bit of the past.
