Ok. I went to a yard sale, and bought this old sewing machine. It works in perfect condition, its just, I need to find out its model and I can’t find it. I found a receipt from the original owner, and it was bought in 1976 and its a Kenmore. Does anyone know what model I might have?

It could be one of several. It’s probably way overdue for a tuneup and cleaning, so the tuneup person could tell you.

Hi
On most Kenmores the model number is found on a metal plate that is usually on the front, but underneath the edge of the sewing machine bed. It reads something like this 117.813. The first 3 numbers tell you the manufacturer (in this case White) and the numbers after the dot are generally used as the model number.
