  16. TheFinder - certainly...but I'll need more information i.e., style of the machine, details to include the full serial number.. Thanks, J.C.
  17. Nice #20. Your sewing machine is the 1st model of Toy, Miniature, Childs machines made between 1910 and 1914 as noted by the 4-spoke handwheel and lack of tension adjuster - becoming very rare today.....

  36. A quick note regarding the "Corduroy Oganizers"; The machine accompaning the Style #1 case has a "Birthdate" of Oct. 10, 1938 and the 221 featured with the #2 style case is dated "December 5th, 1939"...
  37. The colors & wood (maple?) remind me of the late '40's. It is definitely a "new-to-me" item but appears a very desirable for its uniqueness! Congratulations! J.C.
