We'll take William so he can drive, haul the Uhaul trailer with all of our goodies, and manhandle the machines, and remind us to stop and eat! :lol: Got to hit some "dives" with yummy good food. One of my favorite shows is "drive-in, diners, and dives". We will need to stop at some of those places along this expedition. |

The Serial Number on my Free #5 just acquired, posted page 1209, is 0119011. Says built in Rockford ILL. Thought you could add it to your list. I'd love to know when.

The machine was in Illinois, I brought it with me to Georgia. my serial # is C78415
Here are some of the Free's listed here: Mine 627, Nana 774, Debbie 780, Monica 782, Trish 111 & 780, Kitzone 816, I started tracking them with the serial numbers so we could figure out ages! Nancy Rajean |
