[ATTACH=CONFIG]431413[/ATTACH]Hi, the QB is enabling me!!!! I collected a 57 Singer 185J earlier this summer and now when a friend said she had three old machines to sell at her garage sale. I just said I want them - sight unseen!
So this is the oldest of the three by patent date. Patents start with Sept 17, 1875 and end with Aug 2, 1887. There is no serial number that I can find anywhere. On the back of the machine faintly I see what looks in white to be an H and fainltly after than a ome... New Home? Underneath the machine there is a 2 stamped into the metal. Other than that I am stumped. Any ideas? [ATTACH=CONFIG]431416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]431415[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]431414[/ATTACH] |

my vote is for
New Home New Style Made by Johnson, Clark before name change to New Home Sewing Machine Co. Known simply as The Light Running New Home. Key features: Vibrating shuttle using cylinder shuttle, square corners to bed, top tension without release lever, flat needle bar, simple 'spooler' or later automatic bobbin winder, introduction of new presser foot lifter, feet attached by simple screw to rear, stitch length regulator on bed |
That is a New Home. Just like my Penny... Light Running... Yep, Steve you are the winner! ha ha

the weird part is there are three versions...
Old style New Home New style New Home <--- This machine New Home A1 |
Looks very similar to what I just brought home. I just ordered a manual and 2 needles. Had to jimmy up an adapter yo wind a bobbin, I think what came with it were for Singer and too short by a bit.
