    A long time ago I got this "upholstery" machine and it sat out on a covered porch for 15+ years. Today I looked at it and found this number AF698382 on it. Now I am dying to know what I have!!! Anyone out there to help me?

    That is a 201. Most vintage machine lovers would love that model. It was born in 1940 in a batch of 10000.

    Maybe it could be refinished.. would be great to keep the original if at all possible. Could you post pictures of your machine?
