Couldn't pass up an Essex
1 Attachment(s)
Hubby and I went to look at some radio controlled planes and the guy had an Essex miniature sewing machine. At $5 CAD, I could not pass it up. It even came with the original owner's manual and a couple of spare parts. At least, I hope they are spares.
These machines were not sold as toys or decorative machinery. They were (are) working chain stitch sewing machines. Cool. Now I just need to find a place in the house to feature the machine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]465639[/ATTACH] |
Nice! Looks to be in great shape!
|
That's amazing!
|
Lucky you! I would have snapped that baby up too.
|
The machine looks like there are all the bare necessities. Great shape too!
|
That is a great find!
|
I thought it was a great find, too. Wondered how to use it and it is a simple hand crank. Duh!
We DID buy one plane but I got this, as well as some 1950's brooches and a couple of vintage necklaces. Plus, a Duncan Phyfe side table. I did very well for an rc sale. :) I'm hoping to test the sewing machine this weekend. I know it turns well but not sure if it actually sews. Not that I really care. |
lol, I'm going the other direction, I am selling my last R/C plane this week (hopefully)
|
I'd be disappointed in you, if you had not nabbed this one, when you could!
Bet you are glad you were with MrW4Me .... so you could score! :) |
SteveH - until a couple of collector cars leave the garage, the rc stuff takes over the living room. He's trying to catch up to my fabric stash.
QuiltE - better yet. He paid. :) |
