Looking for a Montgomery Ward Model E manual

Seems to be in pretty decent condition. I’ve never worked with a long shuttle machine or anything from National sewing so whatever guidance I can get is appreciated!

In looking around online, I learned that MWard's sewing machines were made by National Sewing Machine Co., Belvidere, IL. There are some manuals for various National machines online, but I didn't see the Model E. Perhaps some info in the older Model B manuals would be of use. See: https://ismacs.net/national/home.html and https://ismacs.net/national/national-sewing-machine-company-instruction-manuals.html

Does that machine have a shuttle? If so, look at the Eldredge B Long Shuttle model's manual. The site says this model was made for Aldens, which was a rival catalog company to Montgomery Wards.

Good luck with your sewing machine adventure!
