Default new machine

my coworker brought me his "Geemaws" sewing machine. Said his kids didn't want that kind of junk and he thought it would have a better home with me. It needs a llittle work and rust removal but is complete. I can't see any numbers on it yet but I believe the decal says Climax. I can tell the shuttle case is there. Can't wait till I get home tonight and really Check it out. Its my first shuttle machine. Anyone know if a manual is available?

Happy days! Research cleaning it up here, many gilded decals have lost their life through well meaning soap and water.

Use and Enjoy!

My "Climax T" is made by New Home. I don't know if any other Mfg used the "Climax" name.



Getting a manual won't be that hard - once you know for sure who made your machine.

This looks very much like my Paveway (except the wheel position and yours really looks pretty and shiny), which says it's made by National. Is New Home the parent of National? Or do they just look alike?

Ann31039, congratulations on your new sewing machine!

Ah. Poor Baby. This might be the one that gets a marvelous modern color spray paint?
I've seen two 15 clones with the badge of Climax, makes me smile

She is getting a new paint job for sure. I'm going to do a metallic purple and then let my neice use her imagination. The only thing I'm asking is the name appear somewhere.

the funny thing is she is not locked up. all these years in the barn and she still spins.
