1923 Singer 28 LaVencedora w/Bentwood case
Went to an estate sale yesterday. Here are a few pics of what I bought. 1923 Singer 28 LaVencedora Sewing Machine w/Bentwood case (it runs) and a bonus Oak puzzle box w/attachments for the sewing machine, pink depression glass Inverted Thistle pitcher, pink depression glass candy dish, 5 Longaberger baskets, cute ceramic pumpkin, and thread rack.
Plugged it in and it sounded clunky. Oiled it up w/Tri-Flow, now running smooth as silk. Cleaned the case and puzzle box. Planning on working on the machine tomorrow.
Here are the pics. First pic is everything that I bought.

They have consultants and you host a party. There was a comment on FB about them costing $90 per basket. I personally don't know, but I know that they are collectible. I bought 5 for $44. The machine and puzzle box were $90.

Great finds and good prices. The baskets are very collectible and collected by a lot of people and always seem to command a high price. Good day for you. I went looking today at two machines and came home with none. I still can't figure out, I think I was ahead on those by not buying them,lol.

the glass is pretty to look at but not to use due to lead content....from what I have heard........definitely do not use in microwave, guess that is true of any older glass.
The machine is really great....fun just seeing the pictures of it and the puzzle box....what a wonderful day.
Will there be more pictures...
