Wow. I have the same machine and the cabinet looks to be the same, too. The first thing I'm trying to find out is how to thread it. Mine is in really great condition and I'd like to try it out. Not sure how to get the bobbin going, too.
It's been really hard trying to find information on this machine. Mine looks to be electric right from the start. I'm thinking '50s, possible older. [ATTACH=CONFIG]520264[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]520265[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]520266[/ATTACH]

Hey Cathy, love the addiction. Thanks!
It also looks like I'm missing the shuttle. Gotta find one of them somewhere.
I also find out in the meantime that it's probably pretty close to being manufactured around 1936, based on the run of serial numbers. Very cool.
This means my wife's suspicion was correct: her mother got this machine from my wife's Grandmother.

Mine takes the regular size New Home shuttle, expect to pay $10-$20 for one - if you also need attachments, then look for a set of New Home that has a shuttle included (and then cross your fingers it's actually for a New Home machine, and not something else).
