That New Home is stunning! I hope to have a machine that nice someday.

Billy,
Check out what this person found in her basement. She is on the board and I told her to post here. Maybe she will.

Billy;
Somewhere on the board are pics of my 1929 National Sewing machine Dual spool treadle. Love Josie (Josephine) but have yet to do anything with her. Too little time and too many things to do, most of them work related. Will try to find and repost the pics. How rare are these machines? Mine is intact with the spool attchment actually there.

Tara thank you for coming in and hanging out with us!!!!

Yes you have a 66 and it sure is pretty! According to the serial it was allotted on April 8, 1924 the "C" is actually a "0" but sometime the dies would wear and would not strike correctly.

The design of the decal is called a "Filigree" pattern and I have always like the simplicity of the design. It made the machine seem more sophisticated.

And I can not believe you have a "Fagoter" in the accessories!! It is the long piece that is up towards the top of the photo. These are very sought after and expensive item to have. You use it to make rugs and soforth.

Make sure you get the wiring checked and repaired if needed and after a good cleaning and oiling you will have a VERY nice machine that you will want to use all the time!

They are out there, but not found as often as the Singers, New Home and W&W's. I have one of the Eldridge's two spools on my wish list, and maybe one day I will run into one. But Eldridge and National merged together and they became one of the most popular machines out there because of them badging machines for others.

But I know about the whole time thing, since I opened shop I have been very busy in here trying to keep up with everyone!! :lol: :lol:

But I am not complaining, I love it!!! :D :D :D

Billy

I hope she will!!! I am sure everyone in here would drool over it!!!!

Billy I will post a picture or 2 this week-end. LOL I named her Lassie and she is so dirty that I want to clean her up a little

I am digging the name you chose!! :lol: :lol:

Billy

This was definitely a precious find for me. I am so glad that my moma didn't get rid of it when they moved and that my daddy didn't toss it when my moma died.

Billy, can you tell me anything about the attachments that I have. They look as if they have never been on the machine. Should I do as suggested and try oiling her and seeing how she does or should I take her to the service/repair shop.

I didn't add pics as they should be on the link. If you want me to add them here, let me know. Thanks so much for setting this shop up. Really enjoy browsing!

Reread your post...here are the pics BEFORE any cleaning. This is how it came out of the box. Got the box airing out with the baking soda closed up in it.
