After your posts I checked the machine again with a magnifying glass----(ole eyes aren't what they used to be) I did mistake a G for a B so the age is 1941. I am sorry for the mistake-----thanks for the information and heads up----still love it!

I am so glad you know her real birthday, now! I love these old girls. Sharon MacCallum (Dave's wife) suggests writing what you know about the machine's history on an index card or put it in an envelope if it is too long for the card. Then put it inside the drip pan for posterity. The next person who gets her will know more about her.
