I learned how to sew on one of its sisters (a '35 model , from my grand'ma) laugh!
This thing could be used on power or even cranked by hand, could go through many layers, leather or nylon straps, never missed a stitch, gulped oil, hummed beautifully at full speed.
But had unfortunately only two ways, forward/backward, no zigzag, so I had to sell it (to some collector) to upgrade...
Good memories!
