If you go to my blog and click on the heading "Jones Family CS"at the side, you will see that it is identical to the Jones machine on there, which belongs to a lady called Maria, and which dates from 1931. You can also see the little dress I made on it - the first thing made with it for decades.
For needles, get an order in with Helen Howes

The lever is the stitch length adjustment, and also puts it in reverse.
There is a close up of the bobbin on the blog so you can see if you have the right one. They are not the same as Singer bobbins - one end is rounded. You can get bobbins from Helen Howes.
Muv, thank you very much! I will check out your u-tube on the Jones! No, I am not a member of Needlebar. Could you or Charlee get the manufacturer date for me - SS 370051? I should join Needlebar, but it didn't seem like an easy site to join? I will also go to Helen's web site and see if I can get some needles and bobbins! I am anxious to try this machine out!
Again, thank you so much for the information! I can't stand it when one of my machines is missing something - like needles or the bobbins! I want them all complete! I have never been able to part one out - always end up fixing them!
Nancy
