@Joe, because that was the shot fresh from the thrift store. It didn't come with a presser foot, but I found one in my stash that fit-Greist, I think, it's a top clamp, with a really narrow notch. The bobbin tire was just a victim of time.

My mom's looked about the same, but was in a parlor cabinet with the back of the chair designed so that when it was pushed all the way in it would look like a small chest of drawers. It was a straight-stitching workhorse with a knee control and that same brown crinkle finish.

The weird thing about those machines is they are just like the newer ones inside. Near as I could see.
I have a bunch of them I put on the truck to sell at the class I'm going to take - $10 each for people to learn to repair or for parts. They weigh a TON. I think the only thing heavier is a commercial machine.
