The above sewing machine is a White Rotary Electric Sewing Machine, Series 77. It is a representation of the Rotary style sewing machine popular in the 1940's. One of the more distinguishing features of these models was the friction drive system and the rotary hook as compared to many oscillator type machines. There were many rotary type machines including some more popular names such as White, Domestic, Dressmaster, Kenmore, Free, Free Westinghouse, New Home, Eldredge, National and many others.
Most parts, attachments and manuals are no longer available as after market. The following items are offered as used or refurbished and manuals are reprints.

Often we are ask to put a value on these and other older model sewing machines. Due to many variables in the market place we do not value machines. We suggest visiting several sewing machine stores in your area to see if they have for sale a similar model in similar condition by which you can compare. Also you may check several web sites, ours included, in search of a comparison.

Please find the following manuals available in black and white reprint. The pictures of the machines shown below may also help you in determining your model number. Your model may not be pictured or may not be available, in such case you may choose one that is similar.
