Where should I look to find out about it?
Finally got a reply back from Alan on NB about being authorized to change my password. Dropped your name---think that made a difference :shock: ;)

Alan and I get along great and he knows I am the biggest ambassador for the NB. I love that site and if it were not for them I would not be collecting and trying to save these vintage machines out there.
As far as the Monkey Ward machine it is a badged machine by who I would not know until I have seen it. They like Sears had several makers badge machines for them, and unfortunately the serial number is not helping me with the manufacturer.
I would try and look around the PL on the NeedleBar and see what you can find in the Japanese section. I doubt that it will be under Montgomery Ward but it might.

Thanks Billy. I will try to look when I get the email that gives permission to set a new password. Meanwhile, here are the two pictures. Sure glad Alan didn't kick me off... I have been wanting to get on for the longest time. Research is enjoyable!
Hope you get out in the sun today. I am thinking of setting up a sewing center on my deck. It is just too nice to stay indoors.

I would start at the basement on this one to see if you can get it for cheap. I paid $25 for my 1963 Pearl Purple Kenmore in a portable case at an estate sale and it was mint just like the one your looking at.
