Check out Found a bronze embossed White rotary!
It looks like some call it "White Embossed" and some "Embossed White" that is still one that is on my wish list.

Leon the embossed Whites came in black, bronze and I seem to remember there's a rare green or brown. A lot of times you see the bronze looking all shiny coppery from unknowing new owners polishing the daylights out of them only to find out they've ruined it.

I have a black one in a beautiful case. It sews perfectly, but the rumble of that kookie White drive system bugs me somehow. No amount of fiddling or new drive nubbies seems to help. I think the sound of that struggling little bogie goes sent straight to the cabinetry, which then serves as a soundboard. I have had a couple of the portables, and they don't rumble so bad. Still, it is such a beautiful machine that I keep it around. Mine is a 1938. Model 31, I think it is.
