Franklin Deluxe Rotary - Circa 1938
by Kelli

It's a Sears machine. For a fascinating glimpse of sewing-machine history and predatory marketing/pricing, see //www.ismacs.net/sears/sears.html -- your machine is mentioned there.

"In 1933, Sears introduced the extremely futuristic (and ugly) Franklin De-Luxe rotary. The machine was apparently not at all popular, lacking the tradition decalcomania and japanned finish. It later reappeared in Sears' 1938 catalog, renamed the Kenmore De-Luxe."

I'd hold onto it for a while, cool machine. :-)

This is the opposite of grain, it's supersmoothed...

It's a haunting image, but it's not really working for "grain"...

Looks like Old Havana... Cool shot in principle, but the processing's a little too overcooked and the sharpening a little too extreme for this to show at its best.

One of the best in the challenge. Quite haunting, and the noise is integral to the image.
