Kenmore Sewing Machines

Kenmore 158.521

Pictorial

Made in Japan for Kenmore by Jaguar/Maruzen in 1962. It’s one of my heavier domestic machines at 33.5 pounds, but it’s an all metal machine. It’s a Zig-Zag capable machine, but it does require a decorative style “E” cam for even basic ZZ. Unfortunately I don’t have any “E” style cams, but I’m sure a set will turn up sooner or later.
