    I will be taking pics and posting sometime this morning.
    BUMP
    You can use modern sewing machine oil on all the old machines. I buy mine at Joann's.

    My guess would be a Morse or one of the other brands manufactured by Toyota in Japan and distributed in the USA. I love the space-age retro look of these machines and they are collectible as well as very functional.

    Did your Rocketeer come in a cabinet? I looked at one on EBay that did but didn't bid because it looked like it was missing something in front. I have fallen in love with the Rocketeers after I got mine.

    I am looking at a Singer sewing machine.....serial # JE 234259
    I do not know how to ID the model number....and decide if I should buy it. It appears to be in good condition but has no attachments.
    I appreciate your help.
    Thanks
