I like the cabinet, too - - but, I mean! It is an old one, what's not to love? (spoken like a total newbie, eh? LOL) <wave>

Puzzled.

What do you think this is? They have it listed as a 1954 Montgomery Ward sewing machine. Nothing I found on a google search indicated it was. Anyone know?

1954 Montgomery Ward???

I do believe that is a Monkey Wards machine. That is one of their other logos for their sewing machines.

How old do you think it is though? It doesn't look like machines that showed up when i googled it. I did email them to find out more but thought someone might recognize it. :D

Charlee, I love those Martha Washington cabinets...I learned to sew on a Singer in one of those cabinets. I don't remember the machine, and neither does my mom. But I remember that cabinet....we kids used to hide stuff from each other in those deep side compartments!! Sweet memories!! :-) If you don't want that cabinet I'll take it!!
I have my 99K13 sitting on top of a cherry Martha Washington sewing cabinet - I didn't know they made them to hold sewing machines. Mine is all drawers - I'd love a cabinet for a sewing machine like that! (And I do stuff lots of stuff from my dining room in those deep side pockets!)

Opps - double post! I guess I really want one of those cabinets! (And that machine is sure pretty, too!)
