These 4 machines followed me home today. Paid $30 for the White, then the New Home and Kenmore were free. There Don't know the years, will have to do some checking. The White came with all kinds of attachments and a book. The original owner had received it as a wedding gift. When she could no longer sew, she gave it to the lady that I got it from. This lady loved the machine, but, has a new one so wanted this one to go to a good home. Now I have it.
The Dearing is a treadle that just happened to follow me home too. The lady said to just take it and get it out of her house. She used it for the cat to sleep on. I couldn't believe that it was free, my favorite price. Not to look these up and find out what years they are. I feel so lucky.

Edit: Went back to see if I could download, and found nothing to indicate it was possible. What should I be looking for?
