Is this what you have?? I just put Mercury sewing machines in google and there are a bunch of hits.

I just recently got one of these too, I can't get much information about it, I thought it was a singer up till now and had tried running the number I found on the machine through singer to get them to ID it, but wasn't getting anywhere, then I noticed made in Japan stamped on the back. Well, so now I am trying to date this machine. The number stamped on this is 67200. Please send me info on this machine, I'm trying to get as much information about it so that when I sell it I at least know what it is worth, and the history of the machine, and the approximate age.

Thanks

There's really no way to accurately date the Japanese machines yet. Can you post a picture somewhere? I can give you a ballpark figure based on the color and style.

I just found one of these old mercury machines along with a handful of other machines. Does anyone know of a market other then ebay for these machines?

I suggested to another member this site, mostly vintage machines and loads of information; http://needlebar.org/bb2/index.php

I just picked up an Occupied in Japan Mercury sewing machine and would like to learn more about them. I read one post on this thread which said to email Annie privately which I would like to do but can't figure out how to do so. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
