White Family Rotary Bobbin Case
Hey guys, I really need your help. I am in desperate need of a bobbin case for a 1909 White Family Rotary Treadle Sewing Machine. Bobbin Case #836 I believe. I sold my beautiful White Sewing Machine to a lady who has always wanted an old machine she could use. I told her mine had everything and all the attachments and was good to go. Found out right after I sold it to her the Bobbin Case was missing. I told her it was in working order but was wrong and she can't use it. So being a man of my word, I am trying to find someone with the Bobbin case it needs so I can buy it for her to make the machine complete and usable. If anyone has one or can set me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated.

I believe it is the same as was used in later Kenmore machines, based on an old White rotary manual from ismacs.net.
I have owned several Kenmore 117 series machines, and the bobbin case looks to be the same as my newer White rotary, they take the same bobbins.
look on craigslist or FB marketplace for Kenmore 117 series or White rotary, find one cheap enough and make sure it has the bobbin case first, after checking Ebay, etsy's, and other possible online sources for just the case.
