It looks like it was only manufactured as a HC. It is so cute, a little 3/4 size machine!
Here is a picture of the New Home.

Nancy, great!! Glad you got them.

Will post the Wilcox and Gibbs later -- love that little W&G treadle. The treadle is really cute with feet for the pedal! Both of these machines belonged to the owner's grandmother, then mother, now me! I am hopeless!

Nancy
I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat--so beautiful!

Charles Law dates the New Home T3 (Climax Model T class) 1910's - 20's. It was also produced as an electric. (I've seen several of those.)
