We own a Kenmore Model 48 sewing machine which we purchased new from Sears in 1964. Hope this helps.

My Grandma got her Kenmore 48 for her 20th wedding anniversary in 1961. The owners manual (I have inherited the machine) is dated 1960. For a machine that is almost 50 years old it runs incrediably well. It came new, mounted in a decorative cabinet and even that has withstood the test of time and dozens of kids!! What a great investment my Grandpa made!!!
It would be between 1959-62
I just purchased a Kenmore model 52 and the original owner( I am only the second owner!) kept everything! Even the original sales receipt(it was a wedding present!) The machine was purchased new in Ohio Feb. 1964, and the total was paid along with the cabinet, attachments, and sales tax was$152.39.
You Tube has a good short video on what this machine can do!
Happy sewing!!
I believe it was 1957
I have model 1216 and it was made in 2005.
It is my understanding that this machine, the 158.904 was manufactured in 1987 in Canada
I believe it is 1963 or at the latest 1964. I remember when we purchased it.
I'm not quite sure when it was made, but I bought a Kenmore 158.14001 in 1969.

singer That isn't correct. Kenmore machines with the 385. prefex were made by Janome who still makes the kenmore sewing machines today. The 148 prefex machines were made by White.
I got this sewing machine from my sweetheart for my birthday either in 1973, 74, or 75. It was a most wonderful gift. It was my first sewing machine. I still have it. It was a terrific mechanical sewing machine.

That sewing machine was made in Taiwan in 1967. I have one and it's a gem.
