Period
1960's
Canada
The donor purchased her machine in October 1958 at Simpson`s Sears in Ottawa and used it until last year essentially for her family. As she decided then for acquiring a recent model, she thought offering it to MSTC. The sewing machine is concealed within a dark solid wood cabinet with a lid on top. The front of the cabinet has a gilt handle outside on the left, that gives on a drawer. The lid opens on the left where it is supported by the drawer, thus providing working space. The mechanism has to be pulled out from the inside and is then laid on a supporting plaque on the front; it is operated by a knee device on the right side. Underneath, the cabinet is closed with a piece of plywood, which allows the recuperation of the debris. Kenmmore, the brand name for the Sears Company products, appearedfirst in 1913 on a sewing machine, then was applied to washing machines (1927), to vacuum cleaners (1932), and, from 1936, to several laundry appliances. Innovations in electrical household appliances of the kenmore brand were brought forward after the Second World War with their production of the first automatic, agitator-type washing machine (1947), the "wash & wear" cycle in washing machine (1957), and with the introduction of the microwaveovens and trash compactors (1971), of the Ultrawash dishwasher (1984) and of the "Super Efficient Refrigerators" (1993). Kenmore became one of the important manufacturer of electrical cleaning appliances at the beginning of the twentieth first century. Relation to the manufacturer: the production was and still is distributed by Canadian companies. Kenmore has a long tradition and a high rank in the production of electrical household appliances and those sold under this brand name are still very popular among Canadian consumers.
Function
A cylinder on which thread is wound and used with a sewing machine.
Technical
Relation to the collection: presently, NMST's collection has 4 sewing machines from the 1950s, but none on the Kenmore brand. Besides, the collection has a Kenmore toaster and a Kenmore range. Relation to technology: innovations with this model of a compact cabinet which allows the mechanism to fold-in and being taken out when in use; innovation with the lid that becomes a working space when unfolded.
