when I first moved here, like the WEEK I moved here, 3 blocks up was an estate sale...at the home of the oldest SINGER repair man/ dealer in the state of OK!
There were over 300 machines for sale that weekend...and just as I had convinced DH to let me buy all that was left, they had sold them to the scrap metal man....I cried for 3 days knowing what had just happened to all of the lovely ladies!
I did get a nice surprise in the sewing cabinet I bought for $6.00, it has a vintage pfaff in it...probably a 70's model,,I have not even cleaned completely in the 5 years is has been sitting in that cabinet in my sewing room...reason is my Elna sits on top! I do have the book and attachments for it though..still in the drawers like when I bought it
