    Its a slant shank machine and you can tell by looking at the side of the machine and look at the shank on the foot. It will be slanted towards where you sit to sew.

    Look at the foot to the far left that is a slant shank

    Billy, guess what, I found a UK supplier of Liquid Gold polish (pourable), so I have one on its way to me. Yeah!
    We are in the process of building a sewing studio for me and a work shop for Hubby. They will go to the work shop first then to the studio. Thing of it is all these machines work just need TLC.

    Yes, these are the 6 machines I looked at. I especially fell in love with the White. I'm just glad they got a good home-all of them! :wink:

    Here is a pic of my White Family Rotary dated 1913. Got it for $50 off Craig's List. Just love the twiggy cabinet!

    I don't know my DH bought them while I was at a quilt show last Friday in Blacksburg VA. Told me Happy Father's Day. I saw them the first time on Sunday. Went back on Monday and brought the rest home. NOW there in a REST Home LOL.

    :P
    Did you go look at them?
    :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
    Crossstitcher: chin dropping machines. What a very kind DH you have. He must know your heart well.

    Amazing!

    There is so much I love about each of your machines. What a treasure you have brought home. Enjoy!

    What a beautiful machine you have found. And for only $50... wow! Thank you for sharing.

    One of the blessings about this cafe is getting to see everyone's machines. It expands the pleasure of saving a machine yourself. It would be tragic for all of these machines to go to various unpleasant destinations.

    Wow!

    My thanks to those of you with info on where to find GoJo and Scotts Liquid Gold. I usually don't shop the internet, because of a breach in our security recently. (We have not found the cause.) But I will be checking out the auto supply stores. Thanks again.

    Can anyone tell me what type of needles this one takes? I would really like to clean this one up and use it but if I cannot find the needles it won't do me much good.

    Bev
    Bev, did you find out what size needles your machine takes? I have a Mr. Needlebar Needle Book, but the D is not listed. According to the Boye cases I have, it takes a Boye #10.
