I would have to rescue both. I just can't fathom leaving either one in the attic. Can't imagine leaving the other finds in the attic either. My cousin used to go up into old attics and sheds with a wisk broom and dust every thing off.

Wow! Lucky you! BOTH! Get them both! The Climax is a beauty, I would grab that first. The other has the sexiest lines. I would get her next!

Grab both while you can and while they are still there. Don't hesitate as to which one!

Lucky girl! Go get them! What fun you can have with them. I love to sew on my treadle and my hard of hearing man who can't hear what the tv is saying can hear the tick, tick sound of me sewing.

Those machines will probably stay in the farmhouse attic another 20 or 40 years...along with the stamps, the vintage 70s frog cookie jar, old birthday cards from the '40s, furs and deer mounts, flour sacks and rocking chairs, white wicker baby buggy, Victrola, East lake mirror and Victorian side table.

Those furs and deer mounts probably need to be burned right now. They may be full of maggots and other horrible stuff. Those things don't keep well under adverse conditions like an attic.
