Here comes the bride!
 

So, looks like I've just purchased my first clone! .... for 99c.

I have to get it sent from interstate but I think the unique decals make it worthwhile. Turns out the seller said he brought it with him from Greece! He had a gypsy friend there who found it somewhere and gave it to him. Not entirely sure why it's missing so many parts. I presume it was like that since he got it... and I'm hoping that they will be easy to replace.

Anyway, it's fun to look at! I make wedding dresses so it's a particularly fun machine for me to own and display :)

WOW WOW WOW You need a parts machine for that one! BUT it will be SSSSOOOOOO worth the work.
Post her picture on the family album when you are ready to: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...p-t164361.html

LOL!! Wow! Miriam says WOW - it must be good! ;) ... Thanks Miriam :) I'll do my best with her. How could I not when she's "Smart, Strong & Smooth"? (only just noticed it said that :D)

I'm so glad you got it :p

I have to thank Mike for making me buy it at the last second. Sometimes it's good to have an enabler ;)

Both our partners would disagree with every part of that :D
I did try unsuccessfully to try and get you to buy that VS2 last weekend so you owed me a purchase ;)

You were too subtle!

Mostest in awesomeness Amelia. That one is well worth fixing.

Wow! Neat looking machine! Hope you can get it up and going!

Very cool machine!!!

I am speechless. That is just the most amazing machine -ever-, and so perfectly suited to your profession.

It looks just like my avatar, except painted up differently, of course. I am quite sure you will have no problem finding a parts machine for $10 - $20 and making the Bride all complete again.

Seriously, wow. Where do you find this stuff?!? You and Mike have fabulous Sewing Machine Karma.

-C.

p.s. I am sure you are thoughtful enough to think of this, but -do- make sure he packs it well to protect the decals! I have noticed that people like to stuff parts and foot pedals on the flat bed, unprotected, which of course wrecks the decs.

This is such an adorable machine. I've not seen another like it.

Great find! The parts should be a snap to locate, even there in the underplanet....

Very pretty machine. I hope that you're able to get the missing parts and use her.

That is spectacular! Fantabulous! and really cool! :sew:

It's wonderful! Amazing how many different brand names and intricate decals where out in "way back when." You've found a winner.

Never seen a machine like this one, she is a beauty, you will get the parts.

what a pretty machine and so unique for your business too!! Aemilia

WOW. what a great machine.

WOW is all I can say,,,,neat

Beautiful! You always find the best machines!

Such a beautiful machine and the words are written in English too. Wonder who the real maker is ?

***W*OW*** that is a super neat machine.

What a great machine, and a great price! Congratulations!

Wow - what a response! Thank you SO much everyone for your lovely words. I am looking forward to receiving the machine, these are just the pics from the auction. After a great conversation with the seller I am hoping he will pack it very carefully :) ... Will definitely keep y'all up to date. So far no donor machines. Of course, there WOULD be a shortage of 15 clones right when I need one. But I will try and be patient, even though I'm no good at it ;)

Too bad you aren't right around the corner I'd fix you up.

That IS too bad!! :'(

What a lovely machine

What a beautiful Bride!!! Congratulations!
