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!

Here I am red faced !! When I first started collecting, someone told me that New Home machines were "Badged" like so many others. I took it as the gospel truth and I was wrong!! Sorry to Miriam and anyone else that I confused. Eating Humble Pie is good for a soul on Christmas Day. Now what I want to know is what Model of New Home she is. Ismacs shows and identical picture of her and her cabinet called "Light Running". Is that the Model name??

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas Day!!
