Did that ever clean up nice! 

My only lucky find like that had nothing to do with leather or sewing. I scored one of the most desirable Coleman lanterns while walking my dog on trash night. It was sitting in the top of a can, and I decided to take it home with me. Canadian C.P.R. kerosene lantern - they are worth quite a few bucks on E-bay!! :D

Nice find, that old japanning is very tough and it's often there under decades of schmoo. I can't find much information online about the 119-2, looks like a class 17 but with a walking foot. Is that right?

yes walking foot it was discontinued in the 50's and they started making the 153's. was made for leather briefcases. I put a servo motor on it and put a small 2" pulley on the motor and a 6" pulley on the machine. slowed it way down. trying different size thread on it now. Can take needles up to #25. Now i just need to learn how to sew a straight line. This one was from 1939.

cowboy bob will the presser feet from any of your machines work on this machine? I'm new to this so i don't know if they are interchangeable or not. Is there a foot that allows you to see the needle? Mine goes through a hole in the foot and makes it hard to see where I'm sewing. Or is this just something you have to learn how to do?
