Answer 1

This machine was built by the White company for Sears. Most

likely it dates from the late forties to the early fifties.

You can get all the info you could ever need by joining the Yahoo... Vintagekenmoressew group here online. They are great at helping answering any questions and have a huge amount of information in their files section.

( try to block that small rubber pulley from always sitting on the handwheel if not using the machine for a long time. They can develop a flat spot and go bumpity bump after awhile.

Good luck.
