I own a vintage "Universal" sewing machine, serial number UN551395K
Can anybody tell me what is the manufacture year and country of this product? Thanks, Natalie |
That name was used by a LOT of companies.
If you can post three pictures we can probably help 1. A picture of the brass badge 2. A picture of the underside of the head 3. A picture of the needle plate area Most likely it is a Japanese import from the 50's, but those pics will help |
It looks like a Japanese 15 - I've seen several. I love them. BUT I've not seen one on a treadle.

Welcome! I love the treadle it came with and the fact it has Universal cast in it. From here it looks like a Japanese 15 clone from after WWII. Sometimes there would be the maker's name underneath the machine or a JA number that can be used to track down the manufacturer, not always though.

I worked on two recently, neither had a JA number, but one was stamped Diamond and the other Sanshin.

Hi Jenny - I'm right up the road from you - just below 42nd - between Shadeland and Arlington
