Machine I saw today, The Phoenix
My mom and I went to random thrifts stores this afternoon looking for furniture. What did I come home with? One sewing machine. Not this one though. I was tempted but I'm full up on treadles around here.
It's a German 1936 Phoenix with an all in German manual!
I would have loved the story of how it ended up in Dayton, Ohio.

That looks like a well built machine from here. I like the treadle cabinet it's in too. Other than being in the same place at the same time I don't think the machine has any strong Nazi connections.
I should know better than to say anything even remotely political but here it goes. Most American houses are full of Chinese made goods, mine included, it's difficult to escape. The Chinese government isn't exactly at the cutting edge of the human rights movement and neither are a lot of other countries we do business with. By the same token we as Americans could be doing a better job here at home than we are too. The country as a whole is wealthy enough there shouldn't be anyone on the streets and our health care system is seriously flawed, if not outright broken. Problem is I have no idea of how to go about fixing it.
