OMG!!! I LOVE THIS!!! Now if only my DH could understand!

Would you believe it was a treadle that got me started with my addiction! I have an Eldridge 2 spool, she was left in a garage for a few years and was missing the cover plate. Spent some time cleaning her up, got DH to make me a cover so now all I have to do is sit down and start sewing!

But they are so fun to collect and hunt for! Have fun. I need to take pics of my latest finds. I have taken pics of most of them. but I did find a 301A for half price ($15), still looking for my 201.

Love your machines. I also love sewing machines. I no longer have room for anymore.

"No we don't!" says the Voice of Denial. Just bigger houses and bank accounts, and maybe a U-Haul every now and then.

I did not even know that people collected old sewing machines. How wonderful! Where did you get each of the machines? About how much did you pay for them?
