Old Montgomery Ward Sewing Machine

I aquired a free "portable" sewing machine yesterday and upon opening the box I found it to be an old Montgomery Ward that appears to be from the sixties. It is perfect condition, has several boxes of accessories. It even has two copies of the original manuel. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to find out how old it is. I relize it may not be worth much to anyone else. But my mother has had an old Signature machine since before I was born & sews very well. I have pictures and the model & serial number if anyone can help me.

Try doing a search on "Ward Signature" and the model number and see if anything comes up. I take it the manual doesn't have a date.

Here's a link with lots of pictures of Wards machines. I know you don't need the manual, but there are lots of machines here.

Below is a link to Needlebar. Full of vintage machine people. Someone may already have the answer for you.

Hi Annie, Thank you for your information. It was really interesting and I truly enjoy learning more about my little godzilla. "Godzilla" is the perfect name for the finish! What it lacks in beauty - it makes up for it in sturdiness. The M.W. logo is also cast iron - screwed on the front - I can probably take it off and scan it for you - but I don't know where to send it or where to post it - if there is somewhere I can download it for you let me know. I'll take some pictures, but I'll have to do it the old fashioned way -take the film in and get it developed, so that will take a little longer. There's something else I didn't mention. The serial number I gave you is under the front shuttle slide, but on the back motor there is a plaque that says Model E and it also has some numbers. I just presume it has something to do with Montgomery Ward's.

Sorry, but it's not really worth much. Maybe you can get $25 - $50 for it, but without the manual probably more like $25.

I have a MW sewing machine model # R24 N5-1352A. Can you tell me how old it is? I do not have any idea of the age. I also have a Singer sewing machine in a wooden carrying cabinet, but am unable to open it because it takes some kind of key? or something to open the cabinet. Peggy
