Very nice! I remember shopping at Mongomery Wards when I was young.
OMG! I remember going with my dad; he would go pick up a part or something there. While he was purchasing the item, I would be over in the vacuum area watching the beach ball stay up in the air. lol
We didn't have Montgomery Wards or the catalog where I lived. We had a little J. C. Penny store & their catalog and just a Sears catalog. Oh the wonders to behold!!! My Grandma would play a game with me. She would pretend to give me $100 and tell me I had to make out the order form and order anything I wanted and get it close to $100 and spend it all on myself. WOW! I spent hours dreaming and drooling!!! I could do it all again.... probably in different parts of the catalog though... We had a small town J C Penny and it had some clothes and some appliances etc. BUT I can remember going to Sears in the city - now that was a true treat - it was in one of those old huge stand alone red brick buildings - every nook and cranny full of delightful stuff. AND they had fabric you could touch and buy!!! That's where my clothes mostly came from - shoes too. Oh the smells!
For a while there was a MW distribution center with an outlet in Cincinnati. What fun! All the rejects, returns and broken stuff... It's probably been gone for 25 or 30 years by now - when ever MW went under.
Does anyone remember when Sears stores had candy and popcorn counters? Wow...that was a LOOONNNGGG time ago!! I can barely remember it!! :shock:
Our Sears still had some candy and stuff----------in the tool department

Today I was given a New Century hand crank sewing machine. It has the Serial #1647966. I will post a photo of it. I have not been able to find any information on it. It is in a case with a wood top.
Beautiful carving on Wooden Cover.

Could this be a Davis? Card has Use Davis Long Needles on it.

Beautiful machine heljoy! I'm not sure who made it, but I do know that I've seen some Free-Westinghouse machines in that same kind of case.

WOW! Am I dense or what!? I have looked up several machines over the past couple of weeks and thought that because they were pre 1900 I just wasn't getting all the information. Just realized this morning, after reading all the posts, that Singer had removed them from the site. I went strait to the contact us spot and shot them off a nice note. In the meantime, if anyone had downloaded that infomation and is willing to share, please PM me, I have 3 new/old machines I would like infomation on. TIA

I have a Rocketeer that came with a G foot. Can anyone tell me what the foot is used for. Asking Singer was a waste of time. Kathie
