Picked up at the side of the road...
 

My brother-in-law found this Kenmore by the side of the road, and asked me if I wanted it. I've never collected machines before, but this looked in good shape and is in a cabinet that is also in good shape. I haven't had time to look at serial numbers or test it or clean it up. Can anyone tell me anything about it?

Looks like a nice machine & cabinet, and you can't beat the price. Let us know how well it sews. I can't help with model or anything about it sorry. Lots here who can to be sure, they'll be posting soon, 0;-)

I can not help with info on machine. It looks quite nice!!!

Can you tell us the serial number on it? If you tip the machine back, it should be on a plate underneath... would look something like XXX.XXXX :)

Nice looking machine and cab!

NICE find!!! Enjoy your new vintage lady! Congrats!!!

Nice looking machine and cabinet.

Congrats on your "new" machine. I have an old Kenmore and it never fails me. Hope she purrs like a kitten

Great score!! There is a Yahoo group called Vintage Kenmores to which I belong. You can find all sorts of info on there.

What a great find.

I never see anything that nice at the side of the road. Usually just torn up dirty couches. Sorry not much help. I would guess and mid 60's vintage. Looks like it may be able to do some decorative stitches. Look under the latch on the top, it could possibly take cams to make fun stitiches.
