Default The new members of the club

National Rotary with the swing away motor and "foot" shaped control, in a nice bentwood case.



Older National "Eldredge" Two Spool. This one came from Cogito - and has a very nice cabinet. It's got the older style spool holder with the "wings" on it.



A 206, also from Cogito.



The Damascus Grand. This is also a National machine. This is the one Joe picked up for me, and also has a nice small parlor style cabinet



And another Singer 15-30. This one came in the embossed style parlor cabinet -



There is also an Elna that DH has put in his room with his other machines. It's a much newer machine than this group.

I love the decals on that Damascus Grand. So beautiful.

I wish modern sewing machines were even HALF as lovely as these old beauties.

That 206, well actually the earlier version would look really good as a treadle machine. That's what I'm considering putting in the last cabinet you gave me. That Damascus Grand is really a nice machine. I'm glad I could facilitate it's adoption into a good home. Joe

Yummy! You've added some really lovely ones! I love the decals on that Damascus Grand and the black Singer..is that a 206? I wouldn't mind stumbling onto one like that!

We stopped at Cogito's place on our way home. Had no idea she had a second machine for me. We had stopped at a place in MO and say a really beat up 306 in a case with no price. The clerk called the booth owner but could not get ahold of them, so that machine got left there.

So two days later while picking up the Two Spool, when Cogito pulled out the 206 and asked if I wanted it to - it was a big YES! So it worked out, I didn't get the 306 but I have the 206. I already have a 319 at home. The 206 has a sad history, and needs some parts to be made usable, but even if it does not get up and running, it's a nice item to have on the display shelf.

Lovely machines, I would never have enough hours in the day to play with them all.

Hey Cathy....isn't that a 306M (made in Italy) not a 206? Pretty sure it is....lol.

hehe - Cogito - you are right! I had looked at it in the box without the cam part, and "assumed" it was a 206, but it says 306 right on it!

I love it either way, very happy to have it. No idea it we'll get it up and running, but my husband does love a challenge!
