Old sewing machine
My cousin bought this sewing machine at the 127 yard sale today. she doesn't know anything about it but thinks it might be a good housekeeping brand. Does anybody recognize it, know how old it is or anything else about it?

I'm no real help but it's a nice looking machine. Nice color combo and it looks nearly new.
If your cousin looks underneath there may be some clues as to who made it. Sometimes it's cast into the bottom, other times you may find a number starting with JA. There's a list of JA numbers and the manufacturers they represent somewhere. There's a Japanese ZigZag machine yahoo group that has it IIRC.

Stylemaster Precision Deluxe
I'm new here & don't know how to add a new thread so please forgive me, I'm not trying to hijack this one. I need help in trying to find out if anyone has ever heard of a Stylemaster Precision Deluxe sewing machine? It appears to be rather old but I'm unable to find anything on the internet and am wondering if it may have been manufactured by another company. Any help is greatly appreciated!

There is a listing somewhere (sorry, My interest is in 1800's machines) that has a chart of the Japanese makers (Toyota, Mitsubishi, etc) and the JA-# numbers that are cast into the underside of the bed of the machine.
if you go here http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...thusiasts-f22/ and click the blue button that says "Post new thread" you can start a thread for your new machine.
Welcome!
