What a score!! How cool is that?

One of our local charity shops has an OSMG too, but they horde up machines until he can get to them - I gather he isn't a regular volunteer. So that store is one I have to constantly check because they'll have no machines at all for weeks, then suddenly there's 5 or 6 all put out on the same day.

One more thing...when we were checking out another customer told my aunt that she had donated the machines, and probably has the manuals at home, so she gave us her number.

Oh man...I'm sure the door to this shop was made of pearls - as in the Pearly Gates to Heaven!

You are very fortunate. If ever found a selection like that, at those prices and in such good condition, I'd probably keel over and die on the spot! LOL

The machine in the right hand cupboard, top shelf with the pink front looks just like my old Singer 626 which I gave to a young girl that was learning to sew. It was a great machine and I sewed soooo many clothes with it!

What a terrific thrift store! Well, it's a bit too far for me (North Central Florida) but not too far to admire them, just like I admire Macybaby's museum! Congratulations on your find!
