<p>[QUOTE="mljackson1269, post: 12818597, member: 110559"]I have acquired this antique Kenmore Sewing Machine, I have done a lot of research and found it it was manufactured by the White Sewing Machine Company probably in the 1920's. I have found some similar but none like this one. The numbers on the machine doesn't pull up any search results. The closest one I found was a White Sewing Machine but the thread tension control on mine is a slider up and down and the White Sewing Machine has a twist knob instead. </p><p><br /></p><p>The machine was locked up and rusted when I acquired it, I took it apart and oiled everything and got it turning. The motor is still good and works. I had to order a bobbin and bobbin case from eBay, it uses the old wishbone style bobbin. The machine now works great, I have already been sewing several blankets, jeans and other clothes. </p><p><br /></p><p>What is strange this machine has no reverse, according to what I read you have to put the stich on short #1 to tie off the ending. </p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone can provide any information, I would really appreciate it I'm going to upload images, the only numbers on the machine are 63X8625 on the back copper plate, 9095-R on the back, and 813 underneath. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://postimg.cc/4Kp8rtV5" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/4Kp8rtV5" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/4Kp8rtV5/IMG-20260726-105903897-HDR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="https://postimg.cc/crY87mS5" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/crY87mS5" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/crY87mS5/IMG-20260726-110035041-HDR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" rel="nofollow"><a href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/KKszhkb4/IMG-20260726-110225700-HDR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></a></p><p><a href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" rel="nofollow"><a href="https://postimg.cc/Fd494jqv" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/Fd494jqv" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/Fd494jqv/IMG-20260726-111455865.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></a></p><p><a href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" rel="nofollow"><a href="https://postimg.cc/WFTPKsFN" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/WFTPKsFN" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/WFTPKsFN/IMG-20260726-111513408.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></a></p><p><a href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" rel="nofollow"><a href="https://postimg.cc/5j2hF7wJ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/5j2hF7wJ" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/5j2hF7wJ/IMG-20260726-111653623.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></a></p><p><a href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" rel="nofollow"><a href="https://postimg.cc/kDGH5VmC" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/kDGH5VmC" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/kDGH5VmC/IMG-20260726-111733426.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></a></p><p><a href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" rel="nofollow"><a href="https://postimg.cc/tYP21Wm9" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/tYP21Wm9" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/tYP21Wm9/IMG-20260726-111822969.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></a></p><p><a href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" rel="nofollow"><a href="https://postimg.cc/1gzGKqM1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/1gzGKqM1" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/1gzGKqM1/IMG-20260726-111836127.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></a></p><p><a href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/KKszhkb4" rel="nofollow"><a href="https://postimg.cc/Mf0fw6tR" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/Mf0fw6tR" rel="nofollow"><a href="https://postimg.cc/Mf0fw6tR" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://postimg.cc/Mf0fw6tR" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/Mf0fw6tR/IMG-20260726-111939271.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></a></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
