How nice of your husband. $149 was a lot of money back in 1949. Or was that the price your DH paid?

My husband bought one for me a few years ago. I just love having it, and it makes a beautiful stitch. Yours sounds like a great buy with the receipt and all. Enjoy sewing on it.

QuiltsrFun that was the original price. Love having that receipt. Hubby paid 3 times that.

Nice piece of history having the receipt and knowing the price in 1949.
