Help with New Home model ID, please
[ATTACH=CONFIG]486664[/ATTACH]Sorry for the glare in the picture. Bought this New Home treadle yesterday and I'm having trouble identifying the model. Serial # is 3798691 and after calling the Janome 800 number she told me it was made in 1918 and was either a Model A, E, or F. I've tried Google, the Smithsonian website, and sewing-machine-manuals.com, but can't seem to find a like picture. All the others have the cast pillars with metal attachment on top for tension. Can't seem to find any other numbers on the machine other than the serial number on the face plate. Does anyone know if the face plates were interchangeable over the years? Could I have a faceplate with serial number from a different machine?
Thanks in advance for any info you can share.
Karen
