Ane...I think, just from some quick preliminary searching, that you have a New Home, BADGED, "Clark". According the Needlebar:

"The Gold Medal Company manufactured machines for Johnson Clark & Co., the predecessor to the New Home Company of Orange, Mass. Previously the company grew out of partnerships of Thomas H White/William L Grout, then White/Barker, then Clark/Barker. "

$2500. Yikes! The machine under it that called to me was a Redeye, but it's only pictured from the back. Who buys a machine pictured like that?

I looked at that machine. If you scroll through the pics, it is pictured from the front. Very beautiful machine. I liked the Frister & Rossman handcrank pictured under the ridiculously overpriced machine.

Craftybear --Been waiting to take photos to share as I have a White -godzilla finish like this one and I have the original manual
Got 3 machines I haven't shown on Vintage page because they look so much like others.

Need a day to get camera and set up for photo's then we can compare. If White's are enought he same I would be willing to photocopy the manual for your friend but I couldn't do it for a few days so if someone else has one I would jump it.

I found online at White Sewing Center where you can get the friction wheel with instructions and a tool rental to get out and back in. I wonder if anyone has done this before and how complicated it is to replace?

That is Ray White's site; an old Elna guy from way back. You can trust him.

If you are going to ask that much for a machine you could at least dust it. Just saying.

We had a whole basement full of stuff like that when we bought the house... sadly we had to burn some of it, throw some away and take some to the scrap yard. NOTHING salvageable - too dangerous. Fortunately no sewing machines were sacrificed.

HisPatchwork,
According to the singer records, this is a model 15 - June 1, 1921! I don't have a 15, but after reading all the rave reviews here on the board, I am on the lookout for one! Congrats! :thumbup:
