Been wanting this Morse Fotomatic IV machine since forever… I posted it here in 2016 post #417

Finally is sitting in my garage waiting an overhaul

Needs some cleaning and a new belt (original is missing)

For those who don’t know … Toyota is one of the companies who made Morse Sewing Machines

Some were assembled by Toyota and some were assembled from parts by other Japanese companies from the Toyota parts

From the lady I got the machine from it’s a late 1960’s machine … she didn’t think it was as early as 50’s

The PO of the machine found the owners manual… it is dated 5-1960

The whole manual screams it’s a toyota … very much the same styling as the owners manuals from the land cruisers
