I've seen a couple other HOTHER machines. Only one like this one. It was on GW and I got outbid . I wanted it because it had the original owners manual. I figured I could duplicate it and have one for mom's old machine too.

One of these days when I get the case finished I'll do a thread on this machine with lots of pics. You will be surprised at the fact this machine survived without being a rusted pile of junk.

At first glance I thought it said 1962?

The scanner didn't flatten out the crease in the paper. In person you can see it's 67.

Neat you found that! Have fun sewing a bit with it!

Great find, Joe. Extra special because it belonged to your mother.

Could it be '47? Sometimes a four written in a hurry can look like a six. Did your mother ever live in Farmington NM?

Christine-

It looks like it says 62 to me. Compare it to the 7s he wrote below and they don't compare at all.

We lived in Farmington from about 56 -57 to 50-60. I'm not positive of the exact year but I was in Phoenix in November of 63 and we'd been there for a couple years by then.

It compares even less to the "2" just to the left of it. Like I said earlier in the thread, it is "67", the scanner cover didn't flatten the paper very well. You have to realize I'm working with a receipt that has sat folded in the box for 45 years. I can't get it to flatten out and I can't be rough with it.
Here it is larger, I rescanned it and am posting it full size.
