old sewing machine
I acquired an old sewing machine in a cabinet when my father passed away. I
can't find anything online about it. Has anyone ever heard of a Holiday Sewing Machine? The metal plates on it only say: Holiday Model ST Deluxe Made in Japan Any help would be appreciated. Sindir

It's at least 54 years old. I'm assuming that my dad or his first wife got
it as a wedding present. I will get a picture of it and post it on my website, maybe that will help. It's a copper color, has a belt on the right side that runs the needle and is in a brown wood cabinet. The whole thing is huge. I don't have the exact dimensions, but I can get those too.

Looks like a holiday model by Deluxe. Try nosing around there.

That cabinet is not original to the machine. Machine probably
came in a pressboard kind of case and later dropped into that cabinet. Not sure if Deluxe is a brand or just one of the badge machines made post war. Taria Sindir wrote: OOPS!

The cabinet looks like it started life as a treadle cabinet or maybe one
of the very early electric SM. PAT Sindir wrote: OOPS! Here's the website... http://photos.yahoo.com/utmomx1 Maybe that will help Sindir "Sindir" wrote in message ...

I emailed Ron at A1 sewing machine and he said that it indeed is a badged
machine. Can you tell me what that means? Would this particular machine be worth anything? How do I find out how old it is? Sindir "Taria" wrote in message ...
