A superb Centennial with near-complete early-style decals, a superb floral head plate and that all-important Centennial badge in perfect condition.
Only downside to this machine is some pock marking to the base. Rather like a rash on an arm. You have to hold the machine at a certain angle to notice it. But it’s there, so it gets mentioned. Don’t be turned off. The base does not present a snagging issue with even the most-delicate fabric.
I'm at a loss to explain this rash and believe it might be an original factory flaw.
Because of this, I've marked the condition down to an 8 with the subsequent saving.
