Frankliv Sewing Machine
Does anyone know much about these machines? My hubby found one out for garbage and stoped and got it for me, It's really neat looking but don't know a thing about it. Needs a good cleaning for sure, has the original cord & light to it??? Thanks!!! Sorry should be Franklin!

I have one, am not sure if it is the same as the one you have. Mine was an old treadle at one time. It is beautiful. It is now electric, and the bobbin winder is giving me a problem. I have got to somehow put another motor on to wind the bobbin. The Kranklin is actually a Kenmore. I have a manual for mine. The # on mine is 81748. They are pretty machines. They look a lot like the Singer 127.

I linked to your picture post. Your Franklin is a badged White Rotary. (Really do love those decals!) I put a link to some information on Whites in your picture post. |
Thank you so much, I love the machine, he also found the petle ( has the one where you hit with your knee I think??)& light. I hope I can get it fixed up. I can't see why someone would throw it in the trash??

Your machine is a beauty. Do you do your own work on it? I can't wait to see if mine will run??

I bought a Franklin treadle about 12 years ago but have never used it. Did some research and found info on ismacs.net (international sewing machine collectors society). It looks just like Granny67's machine but the decals are faded. Anyway, ismacs said the Franklin was manufactured by Domestic Sewing Machine Co of Buffalo, NY in 1911. It was almost an exact copy of the Singer 27/127. "The Franklin was decorated with Egyptian styled decalcomania, clearly in imitation of Singer's beautiful Memphis decoration theme". I believe they were sold through Sears.
