I have a machine like the one you have Only mine is a 1952 date......same case though....the one thing I am missing is the key to the case and wonder if all the keys work for all the same cases? I bought mine aat least 10 years ago at a yard sale for 25.00....it is in Great shape.
The Only thing is that it is one heavy machine and case so if it was to be shipped it would cost quite a bit.

I can tell you that the general rule of thumb is anything over 100 years old is an antique. Many people call anything from 1920's and older antique and anything newer would be Vintage up to about the 1980s and then...???

I will take my key to the hardware store and see if they can copy it.
If they can I'll PM you for your address and send it to you. Then you can see if it will fit.
If they can't copy it I'll let you know that too.

It's not worth a single penny, so you should just mail it to me to get it out of your way!!!
I don't know squat about vintage machines so I'm not going to be helpful here, I just came to drool over your really pretty machine. They sure don't make 'em like the used to...even that case is beautiful.
