Can't find out this sewing machine!
KSchuler Member since 1/26/13 Posts: 2	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/26/13 5:46 PM I was given this a while ago but this sweet old couple and I cannot figure out what kind of sewing machine it is and what year. It looks old. Maybe about 1950's, 1960's? If you have any idea what kind this is, or how good it is, I would love to fix it up! Thanks! SORRY FOR THE LARGE PHOTOS.

It was a Japanese-made Singer clone and they were generally well-made machines. If you can find a sewing machine repair shop that works on older machines, that's your best bet for finding parts. Did you check the metal casting on the underside of the machine? If it is stamped with the words Joy or Happy, it's definitely a Singer clone from Japan. ------ Measure twice, cut once.

When I googled some old sewing machines I had seen that the brother brand looked most similar to it. So thank you for confirming it :D

Date: 1/26/13 6:49 PM It looks a lot like this one (same profile and bobbin winder), but yours is blue. This was a Brother Atlas machine, Japanese Singer Clone. ------ "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” Coco Chanel Stash Sewn in 2011 148.5 Yds Stash Sewn in 2012.... counting... http://adonising.blogspot.com

Lots of times it is on the right hand side in the front or on the backside right below the bed of the machine.

Here is a link to her ebay store, she always has vintage machines, she might be able to tell you the model: http://stores.ebay.com/NIFTY-NEEDLE-STITCH-and-STUFF?_rdc=1. By the way, I love it, how does it sew?
