Beautiful HC found today
I found this in my local antique shop. It is from England. Cute and decals are wonderful and it is a HC with all the attchments. I could not pass it up. Does any one know anything about this machine?

Glenn,
I don't care for FWs either. My wife wanted one so I got her one, but she hasn't used it much. I spend more time taking it off the shelf looking at it and taking pics of it to help others.

I really like Gloria. She's sweet. Love that receipt too. That I would carefully put in a arcival quality storage envelope for posterity.
