It takes a Domestic top notch needle or a Boye 8

Thank you so much for the needle information. I recently received my grandmother's New Jewel. It was a mess and none of the moving parts moved. We got all the parts to move but the needle won't pick up the bobbin thread. We were thinking maybe it had the wrong needle. I'll check it out for sure.

[QUOTE=LenaDale;8261718]This machine was a Christmas present from my daughter. I have been trying to find out who made this machine. The patent date of November 30, 1886 matches a patent by Barnabas Eldredge. Both the machine and cabinet have the name "New Jewel" on it. The only number I can find is under the shuttle cover and appears to be hand stamped because the last number is slightly tilted. The number is 36156. I would appreciate any help in identifying the maker and year of this machine.[/QUOTE
