I have 2 1950s, 1 1953 & 1 1954. Just bought a white one, she's the girly one amongst all the black beauties. I do have a question. Why does two of the machines have 221- below the medallion and the other don't have the 221-? Guess I'm being a little lazy on my research, I would much rather check in here and let one of the experts assist. more fun! :) I'll post pics later on, when I take them.

I haven't read all of the posts yet but I just wanted to say that I can't believe this is already up to 15 pages in just one day
:shock: :shock: :shock:
I have 2 FW's. I think they are so adorable and I love the humming sound they make while they are sewing. My 11 yr old son has his eye on one of them so I know who I will be leaving it to in my will :mrgreen:

I just received one from my daughter. While cleaning out her inlaws attic she found it sitting in the corner. Looks like it's hardly been used. Going to send it out to get looked at before I try sewing on it.

I just bought my 3rd one last week and I am waiting for it to arrive...
My first one was bought near my parent's cottage..I found it on Kijiji and it was on a little island.... and we had to go across the lake to get it..it was quite an experience...I was so excited..
named her Georgina...
Second was was found a few weeks later at an estate sale...was priced for $195 and I left a bid for $70 ..went back the next day and it was not sold so I got it...named her Lise...
Last week I was on Kijiji again and found another one...listed for $74 and got it for $60...it has not arrived yet..but her name will be Mini or Bella...my sister wants it so it may not be in my possession for long...
