Awesome....I was reading about these. I'll have to go refresh my memory about them.

I've read that the fw with the crinkle finish were made for the military.

Does the "crinkle" have a smooth finish so the fabric can slide? Beautiful machine. I love mine, she was born in 1937.

Neat to see a "Crinkle" one up close! :)

Talk about good shape !! Congrats - I have never heard of a crinkle finish FW - lucky find.

Congrats on your awesome find. Thanks for posting a picture so we can all see what one looks like.

I was told in Paducah (by a vendor who always has parts for FWs and english needles etc) that they were made for the military to use during wars. The sun didn't reflect off the finish thus alerting the enemy of our location.

Congrats. Didn't know they made them like that. What fun.

I didn't realize there was a crinkle FW. I love the crinkle finishes. I have the "godzilla" Singer 128-23, and a White Rotary with a crinkle finish.

Thanks for sharing pictures. I've never seen one before. I especially like the view behind your machine. It looks like a lovely place to live.
