From following the links you gave above I have figured out that my machine is a Model 201, manufactured in 1952 in Elizabeth, NJ. These are such beautiful machines and so often loaded with so much history and emotion. Thank you for making it so much easier for me. She loved it and took such great care of it that now that I have adopted it all I had to do was identify the model and find a manual, just to learn how to maintain it. As an anecdote I remember her saying the people that sold them (this was 1935-1936) were going around the villages in Romanian countryside and offered free sewing lessons to little girls whose families bought the machines. She was just 8 years old when my great grand-father gave it to her, and I was about the same age when she taught me how to use it :). It only had one owner until me, my grandma. ![]() I actually have a " little sister" Nefertiti version, thanks to you now I know it was also made in Clydebank, though a bit later in 1934, and you will be amazed to know it landed in Romania :). ![]() I have been looking for this exact type of info for a long time and it just took me a couple of minutes to get it all by following your instructions. ![]() Hi Ann, I just wanted to say thank you for all the great info I found in your article.
