I am so glad I found this thread...I posted my New Home on the other thread and have not received any info at all. Ya'll seem to know more about it ...so I am posting my little beauty here. I cannot find a serial number or a model number anywhere on it. It does have 2 medallions with nekkid ladies on it! The cabinet is in really good shape and I found her on San Antonio's Craigslist for $40.00. She is beautiful and clean, no rust anywhere and sews smoothly and quietly!

That's what I came to check out! :)

It looks like an NLB. Needlebar might have more about that as well.

The manual for the NLB is at ISMACS

It's beautiful! My 11 yr old DS would be sitting in front of it, all the day long, just to look at the medallions....lol!

I went to both sites...And the machine on the Neddlebar site looks just like mine..madallions too. I can;t figure out where they get the serial number. I found two numbers on the Westinghouse motor. 9562773-c and NP45213. Any ideas?

I have 3 of those machines - I never looked for naked ladies though... I was thinking about donating them to missions... maybe CL would be better...

Miriam! Wait! I need a bobbin case!

Here is where you can find the Serial Number[ATTACH=CONFIG]368344[/ATTACH]

My sister surprised me last night with a sewing machine...a New Home ( I don't know much about it yet...except) It has a bobbin and bobbin case and they fit my other machine! She found it for $5 at a thrift store![ATTACH=CONFIG]368738[/ATTACH] It's pretty dirty. It's shiny only because I started wiping it down with sewing machine oil to clean it up. I called Janome and they said it was made between 1934 and 1942. Rockford, IL. Model AC.

I betcha it has some pretty nice internals. Clean it up - see Glenn for sprucing up the finish.

I will. I have a back log of quilts to complete, but as soon as I'm caught up, I'll be working on this one. I was so excited when she brought it over. She was talking about a Singer she had when she was in high school. 1965 ish...it was black, classic Singer, but she got rid of it and got a "new" Kenmore. I would love to find a machine for her. She doesn't remember the model or much about it, just that the ones I've collected now are reminding her of that long gone machine.
