OK so today I was at the thrift stores and saw a pink Altas sewing machine in a cabinet. I didn't even pay attention to the asking price, but I don't think it was much. I'm not into the old machines like many of you are, but is this something I might sure buy and resale? Is there a "want" for this machine? I know nothing about it. I may have to go back Monday and check it out just in case any one on here is interested.

take your camera with you to take a picture of it
you should bring it home with you I just googled and found this one http://www.etsy.com/listing/56781749...hine-with-case |
Get it!
|
I have one and it sews a perfect stitch. I picked it up at an auction. You should get it. Mine threads from left to right, and takes a class 15 bobbin.
|
I checked out the Etsy site Crafty Bear posted. If it looks anything like the one on Etsy grab it. It is so cool looking!! Wish I could afford one...oh wait I don't have room anyway! Haha.
|
Too bad you're on the wrong side of the state from my granddaughter. She'd bring it home for me, but she's at Havelock on or near the Marine Corps base.
|
I had one, which I passed along to another QB member. I loved it. Worked great- great stitch, easy to use. All metal parts. It was a fabulous machine. And PINK! which I also loved. Grab it!
|
Definitely a demand if the price is right.
|
Didn't someone here have a pink machine in their avatar? Haven't seen it in a while.
|
If you can get a picture I would like to see if it is the one that I am looking for. Been searching, but its always "sold" before I can get it. I am looking for the 1955 + model, with a man holding the earth "atlas". This is the machine that I learned on.
|
Sorry but this one was sold too before I got back.
I'll keep my eye out for you though |
That is a cute little machine. I would love one.
|
I would LOVE to have a pink one or a burgandy one....didnt I see a picture on here, that someone has, a burgandy one? I never see any on ebay !
|

The pink Atlas was the sewing machine I learned to sew on. My mom bought hers new when I was eight years old, (I am now 62 years old). LOVED that machine, it is a real workhorse.
|
I would get it just because it is pink and I love that color. Plus I haven't seen one in that color.
