Dressmaker model W-60 DE Luxe Zig Zag
This is my Mothers Dressmaker model W-60 DE Luxe Zig Zag Precision Sewing Machine Made In Japan. I have a full set of cams, the accessory box and best of all a printed manual. The unique item on this machine is the blind stitch dial. I still don't know what year it was made. If anyone cam help with that, the serial number is JNZ 617410.

Serial numbers are useless for Japanese machines as there are no records that we know of to search. Without dated paperwork most of the time best we can do is guess. I'd say based on features early to mid 1960s.
