Question
I am looking for ANY information on a handheld crank sewing machine. It is black with gold and red advertisement on it. It reads NESCO sewing machine company.. There is a model number JB 000780. It sits in a coffin box.
Hello Lark,
Thank you for your query.
You have not provided a photo of your sewing machine but from you very short description, your sewing machine appears to be a full-sized household model machine. If this is the case, I cannot be of assistance to you.
My expertise as far as sewing machines go, is in he antique toy or miniature variety. If this is what you have, please provide me with a photograph.
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.
