I recently inherited my grandmother’s Sewmor sewing machine, the attachments, and her notions and threads. The manuals, certificate, and even the business card from the dealer were saved, too.
My grandmother's sewing notions (but not her tackle box!)
There’s a note on the back of Mr. Amendola’s card that says “sold 12/14/57″ — I wonder if it was a Christmas gift? The sewing machine was bought in New Britain, Connecticut, from Mr. Amendola, whose telephone number is listed as “BAldwin 9-9568.” I love looking at the old booklets. I’m so glad my family kept all of the pieces together!

Buttons from my great-grandfather, a fire fighter from Massachusetts
The sun is setting, so I’ll have to wait to lug out the Sewmor. More photos to come!
I bought a Sewmor 606 model at a local shop today, and when I got it home I immediately Googled ‘sewmor’ and came up with this post. What a great thing to inherit! I also love the original cards and manuals that come with antiques, and those buttons are just great!
