This belonged to my grandmother. The decal on it says Rose City. I would like to purchase replacement drawers for it, but it is difficult as I can find nothing about this model.

Your Rose City sewing machine has all the ear marks of being manufactured by the White Sewing Machine Co. The White was founded in 1858 in Templeton, Mass. In 1876 the company moved to Cleveland, OH. The White Sewing Machine Co. Purchased several other sewing machine companies one being the Domestic. White manufactured several brand names for Sears, Roebuck and Co.
Miri0808, Check my show and tell, I had posted a white Sewing Machine. The drawers do show up on Ebay.
Thanks I will do a search on Ebay. I actually have one drawer for this but need 3 replacements. The drawers have a curved wall on the outer side which seems to be hard to find.
Does anyone know where to find the serial number on this? Also besides Ebay, any other online sites that might sell replacement drawers for this? Thanks for any advice.
This machine is a National Eldridge Vindex B
The serial number should be under or below the bobbin slide cover.
If you do a search for 'damascusannie' you should find more info
I'm sorry but it's nothing to do with White or with Sears Robuck
Thanks Bernadette. I looked that up and it's the first time I saw a machine that had the exact cabinet as mine. Now if I can only find replacement drawers. curved drawers seem difficult to find, but I'm still looking.
Try setting a search on eBay for National Treadle and see if you get results. The only way to get the drawers you need may be to buy another machine the same, but you could be lucky to find someone selling drawers.
