It is a 99, the 3/4 version of the 66, (no rear inspection plate). It is part of a batch of 50,000 machines commissioned July 29 1949 at the Kilbowie factory, near Glasgow. Looks like it will clean up ok.
I have one just like it that was my grandmother. How much did you pay? Do you know how much it is worth? I don't have plug and foot peddle. Ideas where to get them replaced? Thanks!
It is pretty.
Kimmyb : Jenny at " Sew-Clasic.com " can help you find what you need for your machine .
Kimmy why don't you post a photo of your grandmother's machine. It's possible that it's a type that doesn't take a foot pedal. :)
