Question

Answer 1

There were a bunch of "badged" machines made over the years -- generic sewing machines with a local dealer's name put on it, etc.  "Imperial" sounds like a wonderful generic sewing machine name for the home market.

Try putting up some good photos of it up someplace, showing front, back, sides, bobbin and bobbin case and any fancy stitch dial or cams that it might have.  Someone may well recognize that's its really a, say, Singer 15 clone with a paint job, which would then tell you what sort of manual you need.

If you don't get help here, you might try putting up the photos and then asking on the yahoo group "wefixit", a group of professional and amateur sewing machine mechanics.

Answer 2

you might wanna google it. If you cant find anything, buy a new sewing machine.
