Another famous sewing machine maker back in 1860 was Gold Medal. Originating in Orange Massachusettes, Gold Medal introduced its Home Shuttle machine in 1870s. However the unit was frequently improved and redesigned since the first one that they introduced has numerous flaws.
By 1970, the company was taken over by Free Sewing Machine who still continued to use the Home and Gold Medal brand name. A wonderful example of the Improved Home Shuttle has a serial number of 175343 that has been stamped on the front slide plate. Also found on the plate is the R K & Co logo which could stand for the company’s agents.
