I bought a machine like that in 1969. First time I had a zig zag machine.

I had one just like it. My parents bought it for me as a birthday present when I turned 14. Loved it, and wonder what ever happened to it.

I have one that I rescued from the trash. I oiled,cleaned and have been sewing on it now for 2 yrs. Mine was said to be a 1965 machine by the man in my area. I hope whomever had her before me loved it as much as I do. I know you will love your grandmother's machine.Happy quilting!!!!!!
