I am trying to find out information about my moms Pfaff machine. It is between 45 and 50 years old. I think the model number is139943. Can someone help me out.

I don't know anything about your machine but if you title your post with something like "Help with Pfaff" you'd get alot more answers.

Could you possible post a picture, that would help alot. Also is there a number on the front of the machine, like 230,260, etc?

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!
Don't know about your machine but sounds like someone here should be able to give you some help.

Post some photos of your machine and maybe we can help you out. I added this to the Virtual Section so it will be seen better.

I would suggest joining the vintage Pfaff group at http://groups.yahoo.com . You have to set up a Yahoo! ID to join, but here is the vintage Pfaff group website:

I love Pfaff too! Today I happened to go the the quilting shop and they are Pfaff dealers. The owner showed me a little book that has all the models Phaff has ever made with date when the machines were on production and discontinued. I agree, you should take a picture and go from there, to identify the model.
good luck
