Early Models
Early company history may be found in the NeedleBar New Home topic in the Makers Forum
For information about early models (Original model, Dolly Varden, Home Companion, Improved Home Shuttle) see the Home Shuttle Survey
The Gold Medal Company manufactured machines for Johnson Clark & Co., the predecessor to the New Home Company of Orange, Mass. Previously the company grew out of partnerships of Thomas H White/William L Grout, then White/Barker, then Clark/Barker.
The Improved Home Shuttle treadle on the left has a last patent date of July 28, 1868 belonging to its inventor, Stephen French. It was witnessed by A J Clark of Johnson Clark who became New Home's President, and John W Wheeler, who was to become the Treasurer and Secretary of New Home.
Prices: No. 1 - Intended to be used as a Hand Machine. It is also adapted for use on Table and Treadle, which will be furnished at any time for $12. It is capable of doing all that can be done on any Family Sewing Machine. $25.
No. 2 - Machine mounted on an Ornamental Iron Stand, with Black Walnut Top, Oil finish. Where a large amount of sewing is required, it is preferable to run the Machine with the Treadle. $37.
No. 3 - The same as No. 2, with the addition of a Cover to protect the Machine from dust when not in use. It is a very desirable style. $42.
No. 4 - Highly Ornamented and has four drawers and drop leaf. $52.
No. 5 - Machine with a full Cabinet Case, Black Walnut, Oil Finished or Polished, as ordered. The Machine and Case are finished in the Highest Style of the Art. $80.
The improved model was designed for family and light manufacturing purposes, sewing the lightest muslins to the heaviest cloth. 'The only practical low-priced lock stitch sewing machine ever invented.' It was guaranteed for five years.
Each machine was supplied with a shuttle, three extra bobbins, a hemmer and feller, braider, screwdriver, five needles, gauge, directions (English, German, French or Spanish) and clamp.
Lockstitch machine. If the machine has R.K. stamped onto it, the initials are thought to be the British importer and distributor Rennick, Kelmsley & Co.
A chainstitch machine.
This Gold Medal was also produced with a rectangular stitchplate. Now a true collectible, but at the time it was manufactured to fulfill a low cost machine for people unable to afford better quality machines such as Singer and Wheeler & Wilson.
The Beginnings of the New Home Line
Orange is beautifully situated among the hills of Franklin Co., Mass., on the Vermont and Massachusetts Rail Road, about ten miles from the Connecticut River. It is a thrifty and prosperous village of about 4,000 inhabitants, lying on both sides of Miller's River.
The Poosac Tunnel Line runs directly through the village, offering special advantages for transportation. Very low rates of freight can be obtained to all points.
Quite a variety of manufacturing is carried on in Orange. The most important industry is the New Home Sewing Machine Works, the history of which dates back to 1860.
Their shops are very extensive, containing nearly 200,000 square feet of flooring. An iron bridge spanning the river connects them with the foundry, which is 300 feet in length, and smelts between 15 and 20 tons daily. In view of the large increase of trade, a new furnace has been added capable of fusing 25 tons of iron at one heat, and making the foundry the best equipped in this part of the State. In 1879 a large fire swept away the buildings in which the cabinet work was made, but they have been replaced by larger and better ones. The Company have in the past year more than doubled their manufacturing capacity and are now turning out over 350 machines per day, giving employment to 600 men.

Late 19th/20th Century New Home Machines
The vast majority of New Home machines have the serial number on a Slide Plate.
Earlier models are often referred to by the 'class' name eg New National, which became the model U, then US.
After the Free Sewing Machine Company took over New Home some models were sold under both the New Home and Free names (as well as other badged names). New Home machines started to use letters in front of their serial numbers in about 1930. The letters represent the model type. This applied to all models, including those with a Badged Name.
'New Home' models include: AC, AD, DA, DNHM, JL, KK, LN, M, MS, NH, NHR, NHL, NLR, TS, U, US, NLB.
Free produced models with the following designations (note duplications): A, AD, AAE, AE, ALE, ALR, AN, ANR, ARE, C, CCE, CE, DARE, FH, G, GE, K, KE, L, LE, N, NE, NMO, M, MM, ME, MO, P, PE, W, XE, ALB. For further information about Free Sewing Machine models, see the NeedleBar Picture Library.
