Vintage New Home 8F
I was visiting a relative this evening and she brought out her grandmothers sewing machine to identify. As best I can tell, it is a New Home 8F. It has a greenish crinkle finish, vibrating shuttle, looks to be a 3/4 head, very heavy and a motor that appears to be gear driven as there is no visible belt. I looked all over it with a flashlight and cannot locate a serial number. Most of my machines are Singers and I'm not very familiar with New Home. Can anyone tell me more about this machine?

I like the looks of that machine. I have a brown crinkle White Rotary with the system where the wheel runs against a roller of some sort, just like yours. Joe, what do they call that system?

Kitsy,
That rubber piece on the end of the motor shaft is called a motor pulley. The whole system is called a friction drive.
