all of your machines look pretty.

I am beginning she is a multi faceted clone. From the pictures of your machines, she looks like the Brother Admiral and the Necchi, but has the feeddogs drop dial like Cathy's 606. Thanks for the manual Cathy. I know it will help me.

she's a beauty.

i understood that sewmor used to be made by the white company. perhaps it's a clone of one of theirs?

My Universal is a twin to a White my mother purchased in the mid 50s. That fits with the timeline in which White stopped manufacturing machines and became a distributor. The Japanese factories that had manufactured for White renamed the machines and kept going. The Koyo factory is the one who did this one as far as I can find out. Did they do my mother's as a White and mine a few months later as a Universal??? White had more than one factory which explains both the similarities and the difference.

I have 2 Japanese clones and neither are Singer clones. Both, according to some knowledgable people, are White clones. It may be your Shirley Sewmor is a White clone.

did a little random research on the sewmor--apparently it was made in japan starting after wwii, from parts from asia (japan, indonesia, etc.) and was a "badged" machine, authorized to be made. found one that looks similar to yours (http://singeroriginalvintageproducts...INFORSALE.aspx). they seem to be in decent supply. (the one to which i referred, reputed to be mfg. by white is mine--originally purchased in 1968, as a gift to me from hubby, on the occasion of our first daughter's impending birth. i still use it. got to love the metal construction of those machines!) there are instruction manuals available, and many for sale on various sites. yours is a beauty! (my 1968 is "modern" in appearance--white and light seafoam green colors, snap on cover, made of pressboard.)
btw: here is a page written by someone who recently acquired a sewmor. i didn't really know what to make of it, or the second reply below it, but i decided it was "engrish", probably translated by a google translator. and then i found it utterly charming! http://www.xmastips.com/buying-your-...ewing-machine/ |
