I did purchase the Davis NVF machine for $50, as well as numerous attachments: Davis, Singer, and National or Free (?). (Man, was that a fast trip, I had a family gathering today.) The machine needs a good cleaning! Lots of rust spots. The cabinet needs some repairs, and the treadle could use a good cleaning too. So, the story goes like this. The seller's son gave her this machine as a gift. He had found it at an antique shop for $50. He knew she wanted a machine like the one she had learned to sew on, old VS Singer, and made her wedding dress with. Her mom still owns the machine but her sister has claimed that machine even though the sister doesn't sew (time for a deal if you ask me). Well, this isn't the machine (VS yes, Singer no). Since it needs more work than she is willing to do, she put it up for sale. All she wants is a Singer VS treadle like the one her mom owns. And all I want is to play with this machine. Way cool looking and I hope it works! Now the eclectic attachments are another prize. Some are for this machine, others for Singer machines, and another set for what may work on my Free machine or possibly my Two Spools. The serial number is 2746650.
