Question
could you refer me to someone who could help me date a national sewing machine line seamstress model A
Hello Linda,
As I have stated many times before, I am not an expert on domestic or household sewing machines.
The only resources that I can think of that might hep you with your queries are the ones listed below. You can cut and paste the links.
This first link goes to the archives if the Smithsonian and they do have many National Sewing machine models listed.

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.
