This sewing machine may have been a duplicate of a Kenmore sewing machine. Other than that there is scant information on the internet about this and other Globe sewing machines. A lot of commentaries are missing so you will have to figure it out as you go.

It is hard to say as the Japanese copied a lot of American designs or followed the designs sent to them by the American companies that wanted cheaper sewing machines.Īt this link, you will find a pictorial tutorial on how to maintain a Globe 510 model. It seems that the upper tension assembly for this Globe sewing machine may be an exact duplicate of some Kenmore models. The invisible zipper foot, rolling foot, tucking feet are just a few of those accessories. The machine came with plenty of accessories and you did not need to buy any extra to do your sewing projects. The biggest drawback according to an old wives’ tale is that the machine did not work right after being repaired when it did break down. It did not stay in production too long as it may have been discontinued before the 80s hit.Īlso, the 550 may have been the best model produced by Maruzen as it is said to not break down. Globe 550 Sewing Machineįor some reason, the Globe 550 was sold under the Sears Kenmore name, at least according to our sources. They are not going for a lot of money and have little value to their name. If you find one, you better find two to get the parts you need to fix one of them up when it breaks. That tells you a lot about this brand of sewing machines. Some people have never heard of the Globe sewing machine and they were adults or teens when this sewing machine was supposed to be made. It seems that whoever made this machine either did not make a lot of them or they were not reliable and broke very easily. The only price we found for a vintage Globe sewing machine was about $35.

You can try contacting jaguar directly and see if they have any old manuals or the Maruzen company since Globe was supposed to be made by that company before switching to Jaguar.

Our usual go-to websites are not having any in stock at this time. For $10 you can find one of a few select models on this website. It will depend on which Globe sewing machine model you own.
This may not be an easy task to do and it may not be a hard one to complete. Jaguar is considered to be one of the better brands of sewing machines out there today. It wasn’t till 1978 that the company changed its name and its brand to Jaguar and continued to sell sewing machines. Japanese names and corporations were not looked upon very highly by the citizens of allied countries.
If there was it may have been a front for Maruzen as they hoped to make an impact on the western sewing machine market with a western sounding name. The Globe Sewing Machine CompanyĪs far as can be found out, there was not a real Globe sewing machine company.
This company had a model named Jaguar and its popularity influenced the officials of Maruzen to create the Jaguar Sewing Machine Company which is still going today. It was in 1952 that the company issued its first zig zag sewing machine. It started in 1949 and began as a sewing machine parts company. But there is information on the Maruzen sewing machine company. There is no information on the originality of the machine or if it was an actual clone of the Singer 15. This was done back when the country was being rebuilt on American investment. The best we could find out was that a Japanese firm called Maruzen made the Globe sewing machine.
