I found this in a customers garage and bought it. Was wondering what the best way to restore it would be finishes, cleaning, wiring ,decorative details etc. the table needs new veneer on the top but otherwise great shape.
Looks like a great machine. Restoration should be minimal. Fix the wiring if needed. I do not recommend removing the original veneer, replacing the decals, etc. No refinishing either. Try Restor-A-Finish.
Yours was made in St John's Quebec Canada from 1936-1948. Serial numbers started with 000001 and ended with 999999 so yours in probably about 1940.
A real sewing machine expert should be around soon.
JB 431231 dates to 1941. Its a 15J91
Awesome thank you both. Unfortunately the veneer has water damage and is already lifted all around edges and in large portions of the top.
