I'm a little late to the party, but I wonder if this one rings a bell with anyone here. It's a Piedmont made for the Hudson Bay Co. in Canada. Thank you for any input!

Just got this beauty yesterday and would like any info anyone can provide about it. Like what year it was made or anything like that. The model number is #752, Serial #3045. On the bottom it has J-C5 stamped into it. Other than these id's there is no other marking on it.

I'm new here, just stumbling across this site and this thread in an effort to learn more about a vintage sewing machine I rescued from a dumpster demise this weekend. I bought it in the cabinet, with the accessories and a bunch of random fabric for $35. From what my limited research today has yielded, it looks like it was maybe made in 1957. It has both J-C5 and JA21 stamped on the bottom. The serial number plate starts with E-71. The only plate on the face says Electro Grand. I've attached some photos. I believe this one would fall under the Japanese badged machines. Can anyone tell me anything about it? I haven't been able to learn much. Thanks so much!!!

Wow nice bunch of machines! Electro grand was made by Brother. At least mine was. It has Brother stampings on the bottom and on the hand wheel.
I am not the expert Cari is on Japanese machines. I have a couple dress maker machines some I love and some not so much. One I replaced the zig zag gear when the plastic gave. You may have a plastic cam stack on that dressmaker. Read through the above stuff for more info on the camstacks. Check to see if it is cracked. Oil is your friend.

Not all Electro Grand machines were built by Brother, I don't think this one is. My chart doesn't have a manufacturer listed for JA21. Nice machine, I like the clean lines of it.

I just found a sewing machine just like this one. Do you know how much it's worth. They want $100 for it.
