New National Sewing Machine

Good Evening Folks

First I should say, I can't sew a button so I know nothing about this machine lol. So this sewing machine came from Newfoundland. Someone gave it to my mom. I know my aunt tried it about 30 years ago or more and said it worked well but hasn't been used since.

I'm curious as to the age and where do I see a serial number on it? From the pictures, there are some bits of items underneath including a key and manual. Not sure which pieces came with the machine. I'm sure that little powder tin did not. It seems sewing machines are a dime a dozen so I'm curious if there is any value in it. It isn't a family heirloom, although I love the smell when I lift the lid. Old smell? lol

Would just love to know more about it.

Thanks so much
Catherine

 

just cuz there's lots out there don't mean that this one isn't super sweet.

& stuff that makes it to the rock....not always yer average stuff either..!!
It's not a Singer !!

& the case...looks like furniture !!!!!

 

New National (New Home) Hand crank $350

 

Oh wow your good and fast lol. I saw one on a website but it didn't allow me to see a price. Did it say the age where you saw this pic?

 

no it did not.....and there may be slight variations from yours.....but it's a start till the gals gather round and hash this one out..........
it did say though.....that was a sold price...... so good starting point !

 

The condition looks wonderful. I love the way the old machines were decorated.

 

Oh groovy. Wonder how I can guarantee whoever buys it, will love it. Need a contract lol

 

There is a tad damage on the left side. I think someone tried to light the lid off while it was locked in or something. I will take a pic of that in the morning. I know that kinda stuff depreciates it

 

no no no........other way around.....
someone who loves it..............will buy it !!!

 

True true

 

yes and the scratch on the logo too...
and i saw one with a full box of equipement....that would stiffen the price..
but that ebay listing was toast when i got to it..

 

This one is said to be circa 1890.

oh wow. Wouldn't have realized sewing machines were even made at that date. I'm going to try for a clear picture later of what is inside and hopefully you folks can help me ensure it all belongs with the machine and what somethings are. I recognize scissors and thread lol. I'm sure the little gold box doesn't but was likely used to hold somethin or other

 

Just found this one which looks very similar as well.

With better lighting I was able to find this information on mine:
Manufactured in the U.S. of America by the New Home Sewing Mach Co.
Orange MASS
3798173

Glad I found some sort of number. That may help

 

1918 (it is an antique - lol)

OMG you people should be private investigators. Where in the world did you come across that? Brilliant!!! Thank you so much

 

You're very welcome. I just searched with: New Home Sewing Model #

I think your machine is lovely, but like you I don't sew either. Thought it nice enough to research.

 

Lets just say our little sewing kit is under my husbands side of the bed lol.

I'm attaching a pic of what was inside. Not sure if any of these items are specific to this machine or would have been purchased around that time? When I sell it I'll leave them all inside but just curious.

Thanks

 

sorry bout my ugly little toes showing lol
