I've had this sewing machine for at least 30 years and finally decided to start using her. It would be nice to know an approximate year. I haven't been able to find much information. Her decals are a bit warn, I've ordered a new belt, there are 3 shuttles and 6 bobbins and 3 additional attachments. The number on the plate is D674962 and it has an E. It is in a Sears. Roebuck & Co cabinet with Sears, Roebuck & Co on the foot treadle. I would have attached pictures but I can't figure out how.
Thank you
Welcome Pamela. Yes, a picture would help. I will give instructions later. (There are probably some instructions in the links as well.) I'm going to guess that your machine is from the very early 1900s and
may take "Davis Long" needles.
If you look at
http://ismacs.net/sears/sears.html there were several Minnesota machine made by several different manufacturers.
A couple of threads that have some good information about Minnesota machines are
