Note added. I just finished researching the serial number/date of manufacture and it turns out that it was actually made in 1936. It belonged to my mother-in-law; her first machine. It has been in storage since about 1960. It is straight stitch only but reversible. All the gears are cut steel and most of the mechanism is fitted like a watch. The Husqvarna/Viking I have been using is like a Tinker Toy compared to this little gem though it does do a zig-zag stitch.
