<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 157314, member: 44&quot;]Here&#039;s a query about a New Royal treadled sewing machine with info on manufacturing dating. Seems their may be some controversy on the length of time of manufacturing. Do specifically read Reply #4 and Reply #12.</p><p><a href="http://www.antique-shop.com/forums/index.php?topic=7393.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.antique-shop.com/forums/index.php?topic=7393.0" rel="nofollow">http://www.antique-shop.com/forums/index.php?topic=7393.0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>On the following page is a little history on the companies. The time frame for New Royal seems to be 1898-1924? It seems the company merged and changed times a multitude of times with New Royal becoming a brand name.</p><p><br /></p><p>On this page scroll down and look at the followings with the mention of New Royal in each:</p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="5">&quot;Free Sewing Machine Co. Est 1895 – 1953.&quot;</font></font></p><p><font face="Trebuchet MS"><font size="5"><font face="Arial">&quot;Illinois Sewing Machine Co.1895 – 1924&quot;</font></font></font></p><p><font face="Trebuchet MS"><font size="5"><font face="Arial">&quot;Royal Sewing Machine Co.1884 – 1890&quot;</font></font></font></p><p><font face="Trebuchet MS"><font size="5"><font face="Arial">&quot;St. John Sewing Machine Co.

Sometimes the serial number is located under the sliding door where the bobbin goes? Also what is the exact wording of the stenciling on the post/column. I can&#039;t read it in your pic or even know there is any words. It would help if the pics were close-ups and crops. I took the liberty editing your pic by cropping and zooming in on it.</font></font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Trebuchet MS"><font size="5"><font face="Arial">--- Susan</font></font></font></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]42559[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
