Vintage Montgomery Ward Model B Rotary Electric Sewing Machine Accessories and Manuals

This is a comprehensive set of vintage sewing machine accessories and instructional literature for the Montgomery Ward Model B Rotary Electric Sewing Machine, likely dating from the 1930s to 1950s. The lot includes a primary 'Instruction Book' with a tan cardstock cover featuring an illustration of the machine and reinforced black binding, along with a secondary instructional leaflet for the 'Rotary Buttonhole Attachment' exhibiting the 'MW' logo. Physical components consist of various nickel-plated or polished steel attachments including a ruffler, hemmer feet, a darning foot with its original descriptive envelope, a needle pack in a plastic case, and a metal needle plate. A small cardboard storage box contains additional presser feet and mechanical components. Condition shows significant age-related wear: the manuals exhibit foxing, yellowing, edge fraying, and minor staining, while the metal components show light surface patina and micro-scratching consistent with domestic use. The presence of the original paper ephemera and specialty attachments adds significant provenance and value for collectors of mid-century domestic appliances. The craftsmanship of the metal parts reflects the durable engineering of the era, utilizing heavy-gauge steel rather than contemporary plastics.
