You can still find the \"MR\" symbol today often on Coca-Cola products bottled in Mexico.  Included with this machine is the original receipt!  It is difficult to tell the original purchaser's information, but the machine was purchased on March 24th, 1953.  For 550 of an unspecified currency.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eEF565*** indicates an original production commission date of November 7th, 1949,  and it is given a \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/singer-featherweight.com\/blogs\/schoolhouse\/grading-scale-condition-chart\" title=\"Singer Featherweight Grading Scale and Condition Chart\"\u003eGrade 7\u003c\/a\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eBe sure to click on any image far above\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e to view the close-up details of this Singer Featherweight machine.
