Question
Hi,

I have just purchased a portable standard sewing machine, deluxe model.  It is in excellent condition and I am looking for information about it. All I know is the serial number which is NR 50620.  I would really appreciate any information about this machine that you may have.

Sincerely,
Jeff

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.
