Kenmore Model 117.551 Rotary

Kenmore Model 117.551 Rotary

Unfortunately my Kenmore 117.551 is missing the presser foot, bobbin case, bobbin, and the bobbin winder drive wheel and shaft.

For example the Bobbin case, bobbin bobbin winder, and presser foot.

KENMORE DE LUXE ROTARY SEWING MACHINE MODEL NUMBER 117.551

The plate that indicates the model is missing from this machine, so I had to identify it based on how it looks. The manual for the 117.551 shows a machine that is almost identical.

I think that it’s an interesting if not over the top design.

Updates!

A friend of mine had to part out a machine and sent me the missing parts for this machine and my Kenmore 117.812 Rotary. A big shout out and thanks to Lonnie!
