Morse 200 deluxe
 

I would like to find out the manufacture date on my recent $15 treasure, the serial number is #40102. She sews like a dream. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Can't help you, but...beautiful!

Thanks, not sure how posted pic twice???? But she is very pretty.

There are few, if any, records for these machines. I have it's Brother badged twin which was purchased new in 1953 serial # 67431 so I'd guess 1952 for yours

Tom do you have paperwork on your Brother? I've always thought Brother might've had a presence here in the US earlier than 1954 when they officially opened offices.

I only have oral history from the woman I bought it from. She said her husband bought it for her in '53 when her last child was born. There is no copyright or other date on the manual I have for it either.

Thanks Tom. I have the Brother and the Morse. I call them my twins.

Beautiful machine! Wow. You got a deal, too. She looks so regal.

Thanks for the info, really pleased with her.

The Morse Co. made them. No longer in business. This is absolutely the cleanest Morse I have ever seen. Good catch. Oil it and use it.
