    This collection all started with my 1948 Singer Featherweight made in Scotland. It came with the case, attachments, manual, key and extra bobbins.
    Next was a 1956 White Rotary crinkle finish in a cabinet bought at a thrift store for $7.00 and came with attachments. I bought a manual on Ebay.
    Next is a 1958 Singer 99K in a case purchased for $15.00. Then a Wizard made by Brother in Japan for $15.00. Don't know the year on that one.
    Next a Singer 66 Redeye treadle. Had a lot of rust and had to refinish the cabinet.
    Last I am currantly working on a 1891 New Home Treadle which I will post pics of later.
    Just love all the vintage machines posted in the Virtual Section.
    Thank you, Judy

    Thank you. I caught the bug here too. It's all Billy's fault, lol! Been a lot of work and hours cleaning them up but so gratifying when you get them running.

    Thank you for sharing your collection. You have done really well in your purchases and they have cleaned up nicely.

    Do you have a goal of what type of machines you are collecting?

    Congratulations!

    Oh how I wish you were my neighbor. I have a Singer 66 (?), originally a treadle that my Dad put a foot peddle on and my cabinet is identical to yours. Someday I hope to restore it to a treadle. You do beautiful work.
