‘New Era’ Sewing Machine Circa 1916-1920 Ref. MA14
To be honest, I have no idea as to the actual age of the sewing machine as offered above. There is virtually no information on this machine. However, I did find an advert in a newspaper, namely ‘The Journal-Tribune, Friday Morning, April 7 1916’ with a large advert for the New Era machine, offering it to 50 Club Members for 5 cents down for the first week. This amounts doubles to 10 cents the next week, 15 cents the third.....yes, every week increasing until the machine was paid for. It is advertised as the 'world's best "Standard Rotary" sewing machine, 1916 sit-straight lock and chain stitch' I will send this advert with the machine.
It was made by the Standard Sewing Machine Company located in Cleveland, Ohio, which began manufacturing in 1884. Their most popular model was the Standard Rotary, which was basically unchanged from the 1880s through 1910s.
The machine appears to be in very good overall condition with lots of spares and all parts move freely. Not being of the female sex, I have no idea how it sews – and, have not attempted that either. I'm not that stupid!!
An unusual fact is that I cannot find a serial number anywhere on the machine...................!!
