On my vintage new home machine, the serial number and model number are located on front of the base of the machine, just in front of the needle/throat plate area. You have to lift the machine up out of the cabinet or case to see the numbers.

Here is my vintage New Home Streamliner 270---belonged to my husband's grandmother and I recently cleaned it up and got it working again. It wouldn't move at all and I finally figured out that someone had put the bobbin setting in backwards. It's a 1950s-era straight stitch machine, class 15 bobbins, reverse, and has switches to drop and lower the feed dogs. It has an external motor that works, but I am considering putting it into a treadle cabinet. The light still works, and when it's on a red light on front of the machine lights up! It's in a queen anne style cabinet, but it's retro look doesn't seem to match it or really any of the old cabinets. So cute!

I have a light green Dressmaker that I bought on an auction sale so many years ago. I put it in the cupboard and totally forgot about it. I should get all my machines out and gussied up. I still have not been able to find my digital camera. I think it took a walk somewhere in my car. Who knows what happened to it.

Jan, I really like your Dressmaker, however, I love, love your Western Electric. How cool! :-D

Miriam, that looks like a lot of fun!

Phyllis, love our 29K70s. I have seen many of those or similar Singer's on craigslist but have never thought to purchase one. Thanks for sharing. :-D

Wow, what an interesting looking machine! So both of your 29's were originally shoe/boot making machines? How in the world did you end up getting one and actually using it? Are they both treadles? Do they take the same amount of space as a normal Singer treadle cabinet or are those machines much bigger?

Very nice looking New Home - love the two tone green! You can call New Home and get the exact year of your machine. Someone on here has the phone number!
