Nice photo; but, I don't see a grain relationship. Probably just me.

Franklin Deluxe Rotary - Circa 1938

Comment by Bear_Music:
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. :-)

Fab B&W, unfortunate sharpening/compression artefacts (not sure which and it could just be my screen), great find though, plenty of macro and close-up opportunities ;)

A bit too sharp, almost grainy or powdery? a bit of soothness would improve the water tones and transitions.
