Blue singer
Yesterday at the thrift store,I played with a singer that was a lovely shade of blue...had never see one...it was in a table with nice wood....it worked and. Had a box of attachments....$35 ...sure was tempted, but ihaveabsolutely not an inch of space to put it....was this a treasure that I missed or just a novelty to me?
|
I can never walk away from one that is unique to me .......... how did you do that? I understand the space issue as I'm sharing your boat with you ...........
|
It was a clone, likely, and not a Singer. Not a rare machine by any means, but a novelty.

I went looking for blue machines and found this one. of course it has been painted, but it is a bright blue. |
I have 2 aquablue Singers ----a 347 and a 348-----I think they are lovely and add so much tomy collectionand they work well too!

Hattie Shorts: Did it look like this one?
http://www.sewingonline.co.uk/machines/singer348/ I would have brought it home with me. I love blue machines. |
Yes...the same machine....now I'm sorry I s did not bring it home
|
I've been outbid on 4 blue clones and you turned one down ..... oh the shame of it. Just teasing. I'm out of space myself, but I would have brought it home anyway.

Haha, Joe, too bad you don't live closer. I've had my blue clone on CL for a while now and it's not sold:<
|
Well darn, I'll bet it's a pretty one too. The problem is shipping from Outer Space would be astronomical.

Candace, I looked at the link that Cathy posted here and Hattie says it is the same machine. It is a Singer, not a clone. Did she pass up a really good deal in your opinion?

I'd love to have a blue clone, however all the ones I see on ebay are priced far into the stratosphere.

The blue machine was sold....drat....Lesson learned

(Hi. New member.) I thought that the 337/338 Great Britain Singers are all-metal. I don't have access to my 338 at the moment, but I don't recall seeing any plastic/nylon when I opened them up to oil. (I gave a 337 to my niece.) And I've read comments on VintageSingers and reviews elsewhere that say they are all-metal.

Powder Blue Singer
I own a powder blue singer, purchased in 1968. It still works great, although I now have several more. They are still out there. I see them on Ebay once in a while. Good hunting.
|
You got a great deal. I'm afraid I'm a purist and love the black ones - but, I would have bought the blue one, too.
