    Do any of you know anything about this sewing machine? I had never heard of a Red Cross brand until my daughter bought this one for me at a garage sale. Thanks for looking

    Ooooh She's a beauty!
    Like everyone else so far, I have never heard of this make/model... could it be a "branded" Singer?

    That's what I'm thinking. Maybe made by Singer for the Red Cross during the war or something??

    She will be a beauty when she's cleaned up. She looks like a badged New Home. The Ruby I looked at Saturday had a very similar cabinet, but fewer decals.

    I've never heard of that brand either, but she sure is a beauty! She'll clean up nicely and probably work forever.

    if you google "red cross sewing machine", one gets an ebay item that is a 1919 advertisement.
