My Mother gave me this last year.
See the little key hanging down on front?
There is a little round hole on the left end of
the case that you put the key
in to unlock the case.
It is OLD.
It is OLD.
The cat had to snoop, she was not sure what
was in that old brown case.
It runs smoothly.
I can remember my Mother repairing denim jeans and overalls on this machine.

It was manufactured in Elizabeth, New Jersey on
I have not sewn any of my quilt projectson this machine but have gotten it
out and just sewn to see how it
is working.
It was manufactured in Elizabeth, New Jersey onAugust 29, 1927.
15000 of this model were made.
I keep it sitting on top of my old Kenmore
sewing machine and cabinet.
I have sewn a lot on that Kenmore.
It was the one Mom taught me
to sew on .
What a lovely story - the machine is beautiful. It is nice when people appreciate the history of an item!
ReplyDeletecan you tell me more about this machine? My friend just picked one up and we are wondering what the controller in the end does. we can't get any sound from it at all but really would like to get it going,
ReplyDeleteThanks for any help
Peggy,
ReplyDeleteI happen to have one just like the above one, no key but got it open by using a small screw driver. I got it from my mother who got it when she first got married, but never got a key, so it stayed in the attic, in upstate N.Y. My reason for writing this is to find out if you happen to get a manual for this machine. I found one for the 99 not the 99-k
I was told it was made in 1925????. Dee Polito
