Serial number : F6420246 R This machine has gold strips that show you how to thread the machine. This one didn't even come with a bobbin, so the threading lines were nice. The motor can be shifted from the hand-wheel to the bobbin for winding with a simple lever push. The nice thing is that you don't have to un-thread to spin the bobbin since it all happens right here on the side. This portable sewing machine comes in original storage case (has some signs of wear such as discolorations ) . This machine was a closet queen(It has not been used much ). This machine breaks all the rules, in my opinion. It runs backwards. Meaning it turns opposite what you would expect out of a sewing machine. On my treadle, my Singer Stylist, on my Pfaff, my Brother and my Baby Lock, you only turn the hand-wheel towards you to advance the feed-dogs and the stitch cycle. This machine you turn it away from you to make the stitch. Comes as pictured. Excellent cosmetic condition as you can see yourself from pictures .
