My newest Sewmor just arrived today.
Amongst other machines I have developed a like for Sewmors. And I have a collection of them going.
I have:
2 404s, one gorgeous black one and a pretty silver one.
1 606, a metalic blue more modern SS machine.
and just arrived,
1 505, a cute little back 3/4 size 15 clone with a few other Singer traits. It's marked "SEWMOR LIGHTWEIGHT" on the top of he arm with the standard Sewmor decals and markings on it.
Here is a pirated pic from GW, I haven't taken any of my own yet:

The only problem is the morons who packed it didn't do a good job so I sustained some damage on the way to me.
The box bottom is now broken in many places, one hinge is broken, and the spool pin is bent.
I also found the needle clamp is missing so no I'll have to make a trip to the LSMG. Cross my fingers.
But the machine is in decent condition and I'll have it up and sewing in a short while.
Next on the list is a Sewmor 202.

Beautiful machine Joe. Sorry you had damage. I was lucky with mine that I didn't.
Steve that is a beautiful machine. That is a very pretty blue for Seymour.
Caroline, I never thought of under my bed. Hey now I can add quite a few more machines to my harem.

The first thing I bought after I started working in 1958 was a sewing machine. It was a Sew Mor and was advertised in the paper. I solved the puzzle and got it for $50. I made payments, $5 a month. I sewed for myself and when my room mate saw what I was doing, she asked me to sew for her. I used it until after I got married, and made a lot of baby clothes for my babies. Then I moved up to a Singer Golden Touch and Sew and used it for several years and moved up to a new model Singer. I used it until I went to the State Fair and saw Janome's demonstrated and just had to have one of them. When the mother board blew up on it I moved up to the 11000 which was the top of the line at the time. I'm still using it and bought a Jem at a good price to take to classes. I got another good deal on a Jem and gave it to my daughter. She loves it. So goes my sewing machine story which began with a Sew Mor.
