This belongs to my DM. I finally talked her in to letting me bring it home and take pic's to show you all. I am not allowed to use it, I feel like a child again. :XD: Here is some pic's of her. she has all the parts and weighs a ton. It has a gold plate with these letters and #"s FR2785720. Also the plate that covers the bobbin case says U.S patents and a list of months with #'s next to them. I took several pic's.

Maybe one day it will be yours. So pretty.

Woe! That is a beauty..I have never seen one like that. Thanks for sharing...
|
I love it! Such a quality look. I really like that end plate (needle side). Someday I will own one I hope....
|
My Mom keeps it hid from me because she knows I want it.
|
Love it , hope your mom lets you have it someday :D
|

Yeah, but wouldn't you love to see her reaction?? hee hee
|
Is your Mom a quilter too?
|
Maybe Mom would let you "use" the machine-? Doesn't appear that she is using it, so why hide it? (no offense) :)

So I know she was built somewhere between April 10, 1900 and June 3, 1913 in Cleveland, Ohio. If I have time today I'm gonna do research on her. I'm dying to know more about her.

I have several but have not had time to do the research. I wait until I can get to cleaning them. If you come across some good infomation sites I would love to have them. I am sure if you can share with your parents what you have learned about it, that it will one day be yours. |
I have a White Rotary Treadle that looks very much like that. It still works. Why won't they let you use it? As long as the machine is serviced properly, it should be fine. There's more damage being done to it from non-use because everything's locking up. (Plus it's not being loved, and we all know, our machine need to be loved!)

They don't realize things like that and I can't convince them otherwise.

p.s. I have the set now that they're both gone but it was more enjoyable when my bowl lived at mom's house. |
Keep your fingers crossed, and it to maybe yours someday. Great Machine.
|
Wow ... what a beauty! Maybe if you just kept the machine for a little "visit", you know, gave it a test run?
|
Maybe remind Momma that her White needs to have some exercise from time to time!! :wink:

Your machine was made in 1919. The dates you quote were patent dates. Go to: http://community.webshots.com/user/arachnesobsession Judy :) |
I have the same machine mine is in better looking condition...but it needs to be re wired.
|
mine is a White Rotary U.S.A machine #FR 494171
|
I learned to sew on one like that of my grandmothers', only hers was in a wooden case. It would sew anything:canvas, leather, fingers, it did it all.
