Daniel asks…

Dose anyone know anything about a Sewmor Deluxe Sewing Machine Model # B48324?

This sewing machine my wife just recently picked up at a estate sell. We would like to know how old it might be and if there are any manuals for the machine. It is in a fold top enclouser table.

It’s a post-WWII badged machine sold in the US and made in Japan… I don’t know the model numbers, but many are similar to Singer machines of the era and a bit earlier — the manuals for a Singer 15, 66 or 99 may be of some use to you.

If you want the actual manual, I’d probably start with Linda at Relics http://www.sewing-machine-manuals.com/ or the good folks at the yahoo group “wefixit”. Photos of the machine would probably be useful.
