I went to a local Antique Shop today and look what I found!!! I am so excited I'm walking on air. I only paid $85.00 is that a deal?

does it work? what year looks alot like mine that I bought last week

I love the cabinet. What is the s/n? Have you looked it up on the Singer Website to see what model it is and when it was allocated?

I will have to look at the serial number. I paid for it but left it at the shop. My son is coming home for Memorial Day weekend so I will pick it up then. It needs a belt and a few other things. I saved the tutorial on a restoring a Singer. Hope I can get it working. Will let people know once I get it home.

Oh my! She's lovely!! What's her name?

My mother's middle name is Elizabeth so "Lizzie" is what I'm calling her.

Lizzy is beautiful. I think you got a buy.

I would think it is a great deal! Really nice!

Great find! Hope you enjoy 'restoring it'. Hope you don't get bit by the bug! :)

I already am bitten by the bug. I can hardly wait to get started on it. I may go back to the antique shop to get the serial number so find out more info. I like redoing things so this should be fun. I was online and was surprised on how much information and parts are available.

She sure is pretty :mrgreen: Have fun with her :thumbup:

Mortina, you have the serial number already! :) Do you see the little plate that's attached to the machine base by the bobbin winder? That's got the serial number on it.

I think you made a Marvelous Find & the price sounds great too.
What a lucky girl you are!! I love the name Lizzy. I have named mine Louise, after my Grand Mother. Isn't this way to fun? :D
:D :D :D :D

Awesome find!!! I am going to pick up my 3rd treadle machine tomorrow or Wednesday. The gentleman I am buying it from say is works wonderfully. I have been attacked by the antigue bug! LOL!! I love these old machines and am so excited to get one that works with out me having to work on it.

Very pretty!

I have my eye on one just like that, I REALLY do not need it, but oh, so pretty.

I am insanely jealous! They cost a fortune here...but I have my bucket list and it's number one on the list. Have lots of fun with Lizzie.

Nice find!

Beautifull machine and cabinet. Be sure to find out about the sphinx exblem--it means it is a certain age and they are more valuable. I'm sure you will find more info about your new beauty.

WOW!!! She is beautiful :D:D:D

I love the cabinet! I think that you got a great deal.

Nice find.

If I were not so happy for you, I would be jealous!!!

Great buy.

I love it !!!

I have one but I am not sure what year it is. It has 3 drawers on each side with a neat tilting drawer in the front. Mine works really well and even has one of the early electric motors you could add on. Randy bought it for $20 in 1982 when we were engaged. I've set my machine on top, but never used it to make anything. My daughter Gabi wants to take it to her house. I'm thinking about it.

She is beautiful!!! :D
