Here she is, my first vintage sewing machine. To place this in time, I bought this in a thrift shop in San Luis Obispo shortly after I got married. I thought it was a cool little desk. When trying to get in my car it seemed a bit heavy but no problem I got it home.

It was only when I went through the drawers did I note there was a manual in there and realized it was a sewing machine cabinet. By golly, there was a sewing machine tucked inside!
How far I have come. May I introduce you to the Improved Eldredge Rotary. It is a sewing machine worth noting, as I do see these on occassion so they are still out there.
This model was made in the mid 1930's but I have yet found no confirmation on the actual date. Eldredge at this point was affiliated with National Sewing Machines, and it bears much similarity. The decals on this machine has been seen on other makes, notably the Greybar made by Free Westinghouse. It is very 'Art Deco'.
Here is a close up of the pillar design again. Manual, attachment box, one of the hemmers, bobbin case and bobbin. Love this illustration, a girl with bobbed hair. This machine came with a full set of attachments, bobbins and manual. The attachment set are the basic rotary type made by Greist. They are very high quality and have managed to stay perfect despite being in my damp former home near the ocean on California's Central coast. If you need a source for bobbins and needles, here is where I get mine.
The bobbins can be ordered online here: It takes a less common needle, as Nationals do. The size is 20x1 and can be found here: A manual if your machine did not come with one or you cannot find one. Using the Eldredge is much like other sewing machines but there are a few little things that are worth mentioning. The thread path is a bit longer than most and so take care to check to make sure you are doing it right.
Because it has a few extra stops on the way, I always pull the top thread way out before starting a seam. This machine has slipped it's thread more than any other. This thread path set up does seem to have an advantage in that the tension is very sensitive. This makes it able to handle all sorts of thread.
The one I like best is the clear nylon thread used for quilt tops. It also handles very heavy thread like the yellow jean top stitch thread. It is also is deceptively strong, it does not look like it would but this one can sew through heavier material quite well.
Stitch samples The stitches are adjusted by a sliding knob on the side, another different feature. It is numbered from 1 to 10. Number 1 being the longest stitch. It is really long too, perfect for basting.

Thank you for this post! I'm not likely to venture away from my beloved Singers any time soon, but it's great to have this reference point, just in case.you know.I happened upon one of these beauties somewhere in my travels. Your machine is simply gorgeous!
I love everything about the looks - the deco touches, the lines on the machine, the cabinet. Those handles are to die for! And I really like the way the seating area is recessed a bit. It really looks like a quality made cab! I appreciate the report on the sewing attributes - it sounds like a great find! Thank you so much for this.
I just found in my friends garage this very machine and cabinet complete with accessories, manual & certificate dated 1937. It's so precious, it was her grandmother's and she never used it in 30+ years she had it but did appreciate it and other than some surface damage to the desk surface it's in excellent condition. It got her through college and later used as a vanity LOL but never a sewing machine, strangely enough still has a needle sitting in it.
I am doing research on it and finding a new forever home for it and your site has been a big help thank you again. Long Beach, CA.
Although Elias Howe had patented the lock stitch sewing machine in 1846 initially there was little interest in this new invention. Gradually though a small number of firms started to produce primative sewing machines and later the American courts decided many of the machines produced infringed Elias Howe's Patent. Following various legal disputes the owners of the most important patents formed the Sewing Machine Combination in 1856 to jointly licence the use of their patents, from then on America developed a thriving sewing machine manufacturing industry. Many companies remained small and only made sewing machines for relatively short periods before disappearing sometimes leaving only a name or machine to history.
Our aim is to establish a comprehensive list of American Sewing Machine Manufacturers, the machines made and dates of production. This is not straight forward, some early sewing machines were named after the Patent used rather than the Company which produced the machine, names of defunct companies were reused years later, and there were an enormous number of machines labelled for retailers! Concequently it is not our intention to list labelled machines. The list provided below is in its infancy and will be updated as and when new information becomes available to us.
