Tirediron Report post Posted February 10 Is it possible to determine the year of manufactor of a Pfaff or Consew by the serial number on the machine? Say a lookup table? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tirediron Report post Posted February 11 Excellent, just what I need! Thanks. Now if anyone knows of a similar serial number listing for Consew... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted February 12 On my old Seiko, the serial number is on the right hand side next to the reverse lever. I even sent Seiko in Japan the number, as it turns out my machine is the same age as me.....I'm not telling either HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could this really be true? Over a hundred years old and still sewing well? The machine sure doesn't look that old to me, but whadda I know?1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use it regularly to sew patches over pockets and repair purse strap tabs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tirediron Report post Posted February 28 (edited) So, I was cleaning my machine and thinking about the age question again. Then i noticed that there is a red plastic oil point up top and a plastic gear case cover down under...so, how could it be 1908, long before plastics? I'll appreciate any light that can be shed on this age mystery. Edited February 28 by Tirediron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted February 28 check the number on your machine again - maybe you missed a digit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
