Please Help. 1920 National needle clamp?
2 Attachment(s)
Hi, I have a National (De Luxe Rotary) SN: B250393 that doesn't have a needle clamp. The one that came with it was made by some one. See photo. Next picture is of the needle bar without the clamp. Could some one post a picture of the correct needle clamp? I don't know what to look for in a replacement. Thanks everyone for all your help. I love tinkering with the old machines, almost as much fun as quilting!

Likely like this. Pics from my National Damascus circa 1920-1930.

Here are mine (since I took them)
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psb2eade21.jpg DH measured it, it is exactly .25, the Singer ones are just smaller enough that they won't fit. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps5119a659.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psc90d5539.jpg And now I know what this funny looking item is - I've got several of them and had no idea where they went, or that they were a thread cutter LOL!! http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psb34cf452.jpg |
I put the old funny clamp on just to see if it would pick up the bobbin thread. Looks like it needs longer needles too!! I will look on ISMACs to see. Thanks for all your help. Ethel

When it warms up today I will go out to the garage and see if I have a donor machine that might have the needle clamp you need. Yes, it takes longer needles. I took my Damascus in to my OSMG after I purchased her and one of the notes he made on the service tag was "reset needle bar to use standard needles".
