I went to the Amish Auction this weekend, not really expecting to find anything that I had to have...
I actually did find 4 featherweights, but they were a little to expensive for my finances right now...so I just kept looking. Almost didn't see her, I was following the smell of the kettlecorn...sitting in a cabinet with the price tag of $50.00 dangling from the thread holder...looked her over, there was no manual or any kind of attachements...so I said to myself, "when you come back this way, if she's still there...you can take her."
I got through two more rows before I went back and bought her. :)
Here she is...Singer Model 99, born in Elizabethport, New Jersey, May 22, 1929....I'm leaning towards naming her Snooki...but that's up for debate... :)
