Default Painting of a machine I used to have

How many times have you kicked yourself for getting rid of something that you wish you hadn't.
I used to have an awesomely beautiful Free Sewing Machine. Fortunately I did a painting of it before I had sold it. I would love to find another just like it. It was really nice but we were moving and I had two other machines and I thought I didn't really need it. Wrong.
This is the painting I did of it.
If anyone should have one for sale I may be interested in buying it.

I've seen them on EBay and Craigslist occasionally. The decals are lovely!

I've got a Free in need of a home - though it's not as ornate as the one you use to have.

I have the cabinet too - but it's a bit messed up. I picked this up in a lot of five machines - I wanted the cabinet but then got two Singer cabinet of the same style.



The attachments are in very nice condition - only missing the small screwdriver and stiletto




The manual is in rough shape and missing the first few pages.

Great painting! I did the same thing with a machine I set out to the curb. I thought it was in the attic and Dh said no and it wasn't that long ago. Sometimes I want to kick myself to the curb. he reupholstered car seats for a 64 Nova with that. Trying not to think about it. It was a green one. Don't remember the brand!

I was so not expecting a painting of a sewing machine when clicking on the heading! Nice, though

I don't go for the older machines, but if I did, I would love to find one in that condition. Good price too, considering it is at an antique mall.

If I lived there I would buy it in a heartbeat. Hope that is close to you and you can get it.
