Question
I have a National Stores Supreme model sewing machine that works great and does heavy duty sewing. It is almost 50 years old. It only does forward and reverse stitching. Is this worth something to anybody?

Hello Mark,
Thank you for your query but I am not an expert on the full-sized, household sewing machines.
My expertise as far as sewing machines go is in the Antique TOY or COLLECTIBLE variety. Please resubmit your question to another expert.
If you read back through past Q & A's on my forum you will however find various links to websites that may be of interest to you.
Regards,
Irene

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.
