    The plastic base seems to be in ok condition, which is kinda rare for these machines.

    So I am now the proud owner of a Singer 221 Featherweight, in a nice case, with attachments and manual and the original 1964 bill of sale.
    WOW I think you got the deal of the decade.
    :mrgreen:
    Actually, I think it was Glenn that told us how he had one GIVEN to him by an elderly lady who wanted her machine to goto someone who'd use it... lol. But hey, $10 is phenom.!
    Yes, I was given a FW by an old lady but it has no case but was in good shape and well used. But hey it is in my camper and works great for piecing outside under the awning. Not one of my favorite machines but light and travels well( actually it sews great for piecing, I just appreciate a little more heft like my 66) I guess it it a man thing-more power :lol: Glenn

    Kathie S--I am having trouble keeping up here as well----and since I have SERIOUS house cleaning to do as soon as DGD gets here to help, I foresee being about 200 pages behind!

    I am debating about which machines to keep--I certainly have an abundance right now--though half of them are at Tomilu's for re-dos....
    Realistically, how many do I NEED???? C'mon, someone help me out here---eleven is really over the top, right??? :>)!

    Anyone out there have a burning desire for a 306K? she is at Tomilu's right now....or a 66---can't make up my mind who to re-home!!!! And I have cleared out enough extra machines to be embarassing!

    Wow, there have been some beautiful machines rescued lately. The sheer number of them out there shows how well built they were. Can you imagine how many of the modern machines that will be around in 100 years? Not many, for sure.

    Anyone interested in a nice 66-16?

    I don't need another machine, I have picked up three in the last two weeks.
    Geeze, Quilter Gary, I passed up two 66-16's last weekend. One was a portable, complete with attachments, and manual for sale for $35. The other one was a 66-16, but missing the motor and foot pedal in a cabinet for $25. I passed on both of them because I have a 66-1 and a 66-6 now. I am regretting not buying the first one, as it would be nice to have a 66-16 with reverse!

    Oh Jan, I love the color of the machine you're showin'. Hope you go back and get it. One thing I want... someday, is a turquoise or blue vintage sewing machine. I passed one up a while back and am sorta kicking myself. What model is it? I can't guess. :-D

    Sweet sister, surely you jest :lol: :lol: right??? No one on here slows down. I have a ton of reorganizing I have to do and was just contemplating staying off for a week. But, the dread of pouring over 20+ pages is daunting me... :-D :-D

    Enjoy yourself and we will look forward to your return... :-D
