    Colleen,
    her serial # was assigned June 1921. I see you have a 66 with the lotus pattern. That's my next​ machine hunt. Lol.

    That is one beautiful machine. Guess the owner wasn't into sewing much or those decals wouldn't be in such good shape.

    So, let me see if I followed this right, you gave one to be given to someone's young girlfriend, and then a year later got to get a much nicer one because someone's young girlfriend insisted on it? A good reward for a good deed.

    LOL! What a great synopsis! I had not viewed it from that particular perspective and I love it! You are spot on. Thank you. ��

    My dream is to be able to find a "Red eye" in good condition but it will be very difficult in my area but I keep looking on eBay but the cost of transportation to Canada is extremely high. I can hope though. Your machine makes me green with envy. It truly is a beauty.

    I think that's one of the prettiest Red Eye's I've ever seen, except for one for sale listed on the internet -- but that one was priced at about $300-$500, and I had to laugh when I saw it! It was in good shape, but it was not original -- it had been repainted, new decals, etc. Great looking machine and cabinet! Congratulations on your find! Wow!
