I have listed those cams in the Sale section and they will fit a LOT of the Japanese machines. Most of the vintage Japanese machines were badged so that the chances of these working with a Kenmore are very strong.


Did you wear a mask???
No it was an appointment to his dermatologist, but with everything that has been going around it might be wise to wear one! :lol: :lol:

Those are decorative stitch cams for the vintage Japanese sewing machines. It is rare to have the entire set in one container (usually they get lost) but they will work for the vast majority of the vintage Japanese machines from the mid 50's to the late 60's.

I have them listed for cheap in the sale section it anyone is interested in them.

Great finds!!! I get my pressing irons from thrift stores. I don't spend an arm and a leg anymore for them, and they work better than my expensive ones. Of course I check them out at the store, make sure they get good and hot. Last month, I bought a Shark Mini Iron/steam press for 2.50!!! Brand new, still in box. Really cute, too.

I understand. I bought a Brothers sewing machine the other day from a student that said, "I bought it for a class project. The project's done, I don't need it anymore." Her class project was a small wall hanging. (aren't college towns great?) The machine still had everything with it right done to the styrofoam and box that it came in. It's a CE4000, I got it for $60 and I didn't use a mask either. LOL

The thrift stores in this area have nothing like your haul, Billy! I must be shopping the wrong cities!
