Need help identifying/dating Damascus threadle sewing machine.
I've did alittle research and found that Damascus was made by National Sewing machine company. I've searched thru google images and I have found some that look very familiar but none with the same pattern as on my machine. Also havent found the any with the same cabinet, some similar but details off like the drawer pulls or the iron base. I found what i believe is a model number 2972398. I thought about trying to restore it, the desk has few problems with it(the late that holds the machine out of the desk is broken and some of the lamenate is seperated. As for the actual machine, not sure whats the best was to clean it. If anyone could shed some light on the exact model/year it was made, and if its even worth trying to restore, It would be greatly appreciated.
