White Rotary Sewing Machine Serial Numbers
My husband just purchased an old White Rotary Machine in cabinet with treadle. From what we have been able to learn so far - from the serial number, 132784, the machine was made 2/26/1906 in Cleveland Ohio. I downloaded a manual for a W7 Treadle. The unit needs some parts, such as the belt, throat plate, more bobbins etc. And does need some TLC. M'Thite sewing machines, s+ithout the name WHITE F. Stamped on the shank is 'bogus Many of them will cause machine to skip stitches, break thread, -injure your ma- chine, and invalidates the guarantee for free repairs. Genuine WhiteYVneedles have the name 'White F. Stamped on the shank, They are put up and sold only in.
The serial number on your vintage White sewing machine is an important part of finding out how old it is. The location of the serial number may be in one of a variety of places and it may take a few seconds to get the exact location. Just look on the front, back, bottom of the machine or on its motor. Rotary points to the race and hook of the model and White made this type of machine with Rotary in the name from the 1890s and well into the 1950s. For Singer models there is an extensive list of serial number and year of production, I don't think anything equivalent has survived for White machines.
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.
