Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...I love Vintage sewing machines and never refer to them as old, only as Vintage.
She may be old but she's still a beauty - and I'm sure she can still sew a beautiful seam. Kinda like "cutting the rug". Now who does that anymore!
I'm too blest to be stressed. Amen to that!
This was the first sewing machine I bought and learned to sew on. I loved it and wish I still had it.

She is lovely and has aged beautifully!
And things form 56/58 aren't old... I'm not old!!! lol
Quilting is my source of sanity!!!
Most of the "old" machines are real workhorses and handle heavy duty projects. Just keep smiling, you know you have a good one.

I choose to give my life away for things that last forever
I have to agree with this, esp. when I hear about how much people pay for maintenance on their new, computerized machines. All I do is clean out the dust and oil, and keep sewing. I have the 185J, DH has a SInger treadle, and I have a 1960's era Kenmore in a cabinet. Low maintenance, like me ;-)Originally Posted by LadyElisabeth
Talking about old..... Years ago ......when our son was about 11 years old, he was describing a guy he had seen. We asked him how old the guy was. His reply, "He was about your age, about MIDDLE AGE!" And the thing was, we were just 32 at the time!!! Now, I know that my son doesn't think that 32 is middle age, as he's quite a few years older than that homself.
Even kids have old after there age. Eight years old and so forth. LOL
LOL!!!! FYI I share 1956 and think it is a WONDERFUL vintage for people and sewing machines........
