Texas Jan, this group continues to educated me. I thought, and I know I have read, that New Home has been around since 1860. First known as the Gold Medal Sewing Company, then around 1879 to 1882 they were re-organized with the name New Home. In about 1927 New Home was bought out by the Free Sewing Machine Company, but remained New Home - a subsidiary of the Free Sewing Machine Company. In about 1960 New Home, the subsidiary of Free, was purchased by Janome Sewing Machine Co. of Japan.
Why do you think your New Home was not made by New Home? I am just curious as I love the sewing machine world's history!
