"These machines have no feed dogs at all. Instead, they have two presser feet, one of which, along with the needle bar, moves the cloth while the needle is still through the cloth. The other, larger, presser foot is used to hold the cloth stationary while the needle lifts out of the cloth and moves forward to get ready for the next stitch. While Davis called this mechanism their 'Vertical Feed', sewing machines with similar mechanisms are now known as 'walking foot' machines." [Wiki]. Minor wear, soiling & age-toning, a VG+ survivor.
