montgomery wards model R
 

My husband brought an antique sewing machine home today. Does anyone know where to find info for it. It did not have an instruction book with it. Montgomery Wards model R 24 NS 3122A.
Thank you in advance.

Looks like the R is a cute little National made VS machine - so it's going to take National Attachments, shuttles, bobbins and needles.

BTW - does yours have the stripes on the front end? I think those really look neat.

Also - you can get Wards attachments (not Signature, that will be too new). Just get those for a VS machine - not Rotary.

Can't tell for sure - but it looks like the MW model R is the same and the National Reversew. Check out pictures and see if it's the same - it may be easier to get a manual for teh Reversew than a Wards one if it's the same machine.

Can you post pictures of your machine? That will settle which machine it is- 3/4 size or full size.
Besides, we like pictures.

Ok. Hope this goes thru. and I hope it's not upside down

I rotated it but it still is upside down sorry.

There are several manuals available on ebay. Do a search for Reversew. I have a black one badged Queen of the West. Mine has the spool pin in the center meaning it's an older model. It belonged to a relative & had the original manual...the manual said Reversew on the cover so any of those on ebay ARE correct for your machine.

BTW - does yours have the stripes on the front end? I think those really look neat.

Yes, it does have stripes.

My hubby worked and finally got it to sew. It worked great but does make kind of a loud grinding sound when it sews. The bobbin is different than we are use to. Makes a pretty stitch though

Thank you. I will check ebay.
