Updated August 8, 2026

NO SHIPPING ~ LOCAL PICKUP ONLY OPERATIONAL NOTE > This sewing machine has not been tested for functionality and may not be in working order. Notable oil leakage is present around the base of the machine head, with corresponding oil staining to the rear of the cabinet. Offered without expectation of operational functionality and sold as found for restoration, repair, parts or display. A vintage Sears Kenmore mechanical sewing machine mounted in a mid-century wood sewing cabinet with tapered legs and a warm walnut-tone finish. The hinged top and folding left extension open to create a broad work surface, while the machine lowers beneath the closed cabinet top when not in use. The cabinet includes two shallow front drawers and a swing-out interior storage tray containing assorted bobbins, needles, attachments and other sewing notions as shown; contents have not been individually inventoried. The substantial pale green and ivory machine features durable metal construction, straight and zigzag stitch settings, adjustable stitch length, upper-thread tension control, reverse operation, bobbin winding assembly, metal needle plate and an attached electric motor. A knee-operated speed control is positioned beneath the cabinet, eliminating the need for a loose floor pedal. The motor identification plate reads SEARS KENMORE ~ MOTOR MADE IN U.S.A. ~ 110/120 VOLT A.C.-D.C. ~ 50/60 CYCLES ~ 1.2 AMPS ~ MODEL 1120. Model 1120 identifies the motor rather than the sewing-machine head. Sears made Kenmore sewing machines a familiar fixture in American homes throughout the mid-20th century, offering sturdy mechanical machines built by several established manufacturers for sale through Sears stores and catalogs. This example reflects the practical cabinet-mounted format popular during the 1960s, combining an all-metal domestic machine, expanded sewing surface and concealed furniture-style storage in one unit. The Kenmore name had first appeared on a Sears sewing machine in 1913 and returned permanently to the company’s product line in 1934. CONDITION REPORT > Oil residue around machine base, and other areas ~ Machine and cabinet displaying scattered finish wear, scratches and surface marks from use and storage. The machine shows spotting, discoloration and wear along the metal bed and housing. Cabinet sections, storage areas and accessories remain present as photographed.
