If the machine is a vertical feed and if you don't own one of these, you may want to go after this one. I understand that they are nice for sewing on bindings, sewing with flannels, and thick layers.
This one looks like it take the Boyle needles while the younger of these Davis Vertical Feed takes a 15x1.

Nancy, if you get it and don't like it I will buy it from you. You might have to store it for awhile before I can plan a trip up north or one of my friends coming this way.
I don't have one but it is on the wish list. I hear they are great. Like a machine with a built in walking foot.
Vintagemotif, I owe you that much for finding my 1953 featherweight for under a $100! I am trying to get a hold of the people so I can go see the machine today. Nobody is answering!
Nancy
Nancy,
That was Quilt Addict who made this request. I'm not going after this one. If it were the younger ones that take the 15x1 needles then I would be picking it up just to play with it. I too don't have space for another machine. Billy's clever solution for owning many machines with one(or two treadles) is a possibility, but I too like keeping the machines in their treadles.
