We sewed sleeping bags from kits around 1980 with it. I just looked up the info on mine this year, and it was made in 1948. Using a Janome for quilting now, but this machine has a nice history.<br />Kim in OregonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-75384997494806751062012-05-05T22:18:56.097-04:002012-05-05T22:18:56.097-04:00Now who else but Bonnie Hunter would be gifted a v...Now who else but Bonnie Hunter would be gifted a vintage sewing machine by a total stranger???

Mine is a 1951 Anniversary edition 66-16. Her birthday is Nov. 10, 1950, from Elizabeth, NJ. He didn't know or care if the machine would run or whether it had cord or foot pedal! I cleaned and oiled her, and she sews like a dream! There are no attachments, but it does have the original instruction book.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136264132659958527noreply@blogger.com
