Paul’s sewing machines made by New Home Sewing Machine Co., or its antecedents

This page is ordered by age, and only includes machines made by New Home Sewing Machine Co., or its antecedents. A separate pictorial index includes all the machines I've ever owned.

The founders of the New Home company had mostly been working in central Massachusetts, in or near the town of Orange, for many years, as Johnson, Clark, and Co., and as the Gold Medal Sewing Machine Co. It wasn't until they introduced the first "New Home" model (a follow-on to their "Home" model) that the company name changed to New Home, in the early 1880s.
