I don't know, but I bought a pair of Singer electric scissors just cause they were pink. LOL

Just got off the phone with White...it seems Miz Fannie is a bit older than I thought...this time next year she will be a true antique...she was made July 18, 1912 in Cleveland, OH!! :)

We'll take William so he can drive, haul the Uhaul trailer with all of our goodies, and manhandle the machines, and remind us to stop and eat!

:lol:
Ok! Now that you are talking about stopping for food, I'm in!
Got to hit some "dives" with yummy good food. One of my favorite shows is "drive-in, diners, and dives". We will need to stop at some of those places along this expedition.
OK, y'all!! Now I am definately in to this expedition. I'll be saving up my pennies so I can afford to drive up to Charlee's to meet. WooHoo!! If this becomes reality, what a blast this would be...truly!!

I don't think it is wrong. I don't own a pink one - yet. I thought about bidding on this but don't know much about this model.
skip that one - it has a belt underneath and if the machine has set around the belt get's "flat spots" and either don't run right or break. They are a bugger to fix. The machine is not real high quality to begin with. Concentrate on the old high end machines and you will do just fine.

Go for one of the pink Brother machines. Don't waste your time with that ....of a machine. I recently saw a beautiful salmon and charcoal gray Brother. Gorgeous machine!
Like this one?

I have feet and a manual for one of those. Actually, I have the machine too but it has broken plastic parts inside. Real hard to fix plastic parts. I love the engineering on those old Necchi machines.
