Today was half-price day at the Salvation Army. I found lots of goodies but this sewing machine made my day!!! It is in excellent condition for its age. I am guessing it was made in the 60's. It felt super heavy so we weighed it. It weighs a whopping 40.8lbs!!!

Great find! Love the graphics on the book cover!

Nice machine! Great sale, and I know you will love sewing with it. I have never heard of Universal brand. It is Japanese, so imagine it to be kinda like an older clone of Juki.

Enjoy it! Ronda

The books are such a blast from the past! I am getting a kick out of "Adventures in Sewing". It is old but has some great tips in it.

What a find - well done.

Beautiful....bet this sews like a dream. I have an old 1950's Pinnock (made in Australia) and it is an absolute treasure. It knocks spots off my 20 year old Singer and can sew through anything.

Have fun with your fantastic find!

What a find! But, having purchased my very first sewing machine in the 60's ( yes, I'm that old ), think it's older than the 60's. Do the books that came with it have any dates in them? I'm thinking late 40's to 50's. It's just a guess.

LindaR 08-07-2010 05:21 AM

boy she is in good shape....the wiring looks almost new. she will never wear out LOL...

mimee4 08-07-2010 06:03 AM

Ah, memories. I had a machine - a Brother - that looked like this one. And it served me well. Hope this one serves you too.

damaquilts 08-07-2010 06:45 AM

What a find!! Even though I told myself no more machines I couldn't have passed that one up. I have one that has the same case only mine is a Household.

purplefiend 08-07-2010 10:03 AM

The older Japanese machines are awesome. They sew beautifully. You did good!
