Hi all, I have not been able to get on to QB for a long long time and then all of a sudden today it went through, I am glad of that finally!
I went to the TOGA in Seattle and met a lot of very nice people, I took this machine with me and another and the people were happy and very nice to help me figure the threading and the threading of the bobbin, I also bought needles for this and the other machine, so I should be running here soon, I am so thankful.
I also bought three more machines, and will get pics up shortly. I can't tell you how much fun this event was and how wonderful all the machine enthusiasts were! Felt right at home there and enjoyed it immensely.
Thank you for everyone's help and ideas and comments on this great little machine!

We have one a little earlier then yours, and a later one (1925) that was one of the first machines to have a full reverse, and one of the last to have the "extra bob" on the needlebar drive. (this was the makers of the day trying to simulate the tug that a seamstress would give to each stitch, later dropped for cost savings once folks no longer needed to be convinced to use a machine)
The later one also has an egyptian motif that included a topless sphinx, leading to it's name as "the naked lady" machine.... lol
