I have a Singer 401 A, purchased early 1960's & a Necchi 575FA,purchased early 1990's. Would you believe this...the Necchi was brought to me from New York. Folks around here know I collect & find new homes for the "unwanteds". My porch is a collection spot....clothes,appliances, camping gear, furniture....I sort & in the spring get a couple carloads over to my church rummage sale, rest to Good Will....My church is not a mega size one, in an older area, so a lot charity work to assist those in need.
