Heres my "new " machine. Thoughts on its age?
Jo C's photo. It was driving me crazy, so I copied and flipped it.

Follow your heart but take your brain with you!
my guess 1970's??
I don't know the age but I had Kenmore's (3) for years and they were work horses. Wish I still had one of them. Stitching was perfect etc. I now own only Janome's and they make the Kenmores today.
I'm quilting a full size quilt on a 70's Kenmore right now. I love this machine. It looks similar to the one in the pic. I say early to mid 70's.
It's about 1976 - 1978 model. I have one I bought new after my first son was born in 1976! Good machine. Enjoy.
Someone gave me one just like that, I cleaned it up and oiled it. My daughter's friend owns it now, she's very happy with her "new" machine.
I have a link at home with model numbers of Kenmores and when they were manufactured. I will see if I can find it. I totally wore mine out but it was bought in the early 80s.
I was given mine in 1980 as my college graduation present, and she is still my main machine. Purrs like a kitten and is used 7 hrs a day, 6 days a week! I clean and oil her after every project, FMQ like crazy, and bought a second one as a backup! My other machine is a 1928 singer 99K, and her stitch is awesome. Congratulations!
May your blessings be many, your troubles few and your fabric stash endless!

She bought it when my little brother was about 1 yrs. old.
