Family sewing machines are so prescious. I have my mother's and her mother's(my Bigmama) which are Singer 15-0's and I just cannot part with them even though I can't use them all the time. I have my Janome MC 7000 that I bought in the '90's, a FW, an inexpensive Brother I bought at Walmart to use for classes(it is so light and sews great) and my new Brother PX 1500. How do you sew with them all!

I see you also have the second most important thing - chocolate. Congrats!

That's one of the ones I want to collect but have yet to find. Awesome that you have it and even better that it was owned and used by a family member!

I have the same machine and I see yours was also made in Canada. I got mine for $15 and I love it. It sews beautiful straight stitches. I think it's great that you are displaying it.

Seeing this little green machine reminded me of...I rented this model from a Singer store for $5.00 to make maternity clothes shortly after getting married. I worked fast and only needed it a month. 1959.

Might have to find a manual just looking at it I don't have a clue even how to use except press the pedal.

What a treasure - for the both of you. I have my grandmothers 1939 model Singer machine in its original cabinet. Unfortunately, the electrical cord is so brittal I have removed it from the machine. I took it apart and cleaned - everything moved smoothly. With power I think it would work fine. Thanks for reminding me I need to get busy and fix it!

Yes those old machines are great. I have my mother's old White machine. She bought it in 1958 and treasured it always. Just remembering prices of lots of things in 1962. I bought my first new car then. Just a little over $2,000.00. I think I only made $60.00 a week at the time. Gasoline was less than a quarter per gal.
