Free Westinghouse machine help
I recently acquired a Free Westinghouse machine and have more questions than answers. From what I can tell so far, it's from the early part of the 1900's. It has almost no markings except for the Free Westinghouse label, a serial number of LLB820811, and "TYPE J" stamped with ink on the base.
I only have one bobbin and don't know how to wind it. What kind/size of bobbin does this machine take?
I don't know how to thread the machine.
I would also like to know just how old this machine is.
Any help is greatly appreciated. When I can figure out how to post a picture, I will.

Go to "ISMACS" (International Sewing Machine Collectors Society), then under that go to The Free Sewing Machine Company. Your Free Westinghouse machine is a later model than the Free Sewing Machine, as the two companies merged and headquartered in Rockford, IL.
