Younker's Brand sewing machine
#1
I got a Younkers brand sewing machine yesterday and need info .I doesn't have any feet except one for a zipper. I wonder if anyone has heard of this before? The lady said it was from a store in Iowa. Like Sears but smaller. The name of the store is the same as the machine.
on the back plate it says manufactered by Koyo machines in Osaka,Japan. Its called the centennial series . St Louis , Mo. there is no manual or any other info on it. I'd love any help . Also, all metal including the case(around the parts). It is in a wooden cabinet.

Younkers is a regional dept store in the upper plains/midwest. We have had one as long as I can remember. Nice looking machine but have never seen one before. Since it is made in Japan it is probably a well made machine. Their quality in the 60's and 70's was superb. It might be hard to find a manual, but attachments should be fairly easy depending on the shank. Looks like a slant shank??? Take your needle to the store and see if it is a long needle or a short. Also take the bobbin to determine bobbin size. If there is a repair place close by they may be able to help you.
