Question
Hi Irene.
I know this is not your focus but I have the subject machine, Serial # SA416XX, with a box of attachments in the original case and would like to get some idea of the value, and how to use it. It is black and electric motor driven. Would you direct me to some place I can get information on it and maybe operation/maintenance manual/instructions? Maybe the full manufacturer's name?
Thanks,
Tom
Hello Tom,
You are correct, domestic or home sewing machines are not my expertise.
Try sending your query to the International Sewing Machine Collectors'
Society at:

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
