Can you get them to send you the serial numbers and then you can determine the 'birth' date of them. Yes the one on the right looks like a 222. Great find and purchase!

I have already checked the serial numbers - the 222 is from 1956 if I remember correctly and the other two must be Centennial models judging by the badges - one is 1951 and one is 1952. One has the fancy scrolled front and the other has the lines.

Oh dear monkeys.... U did find a gold mine!!!! Yep that's an 222 on the right side of pic. SIGH, I can never find any FW's in my town except on eBay and they're getting tooooo high on prices although I got a great deal on 1956 recently of an 222 . So happy sewing on yours!
