I'm not sure what age of machine to hunt though. She got it in the late 40's and I like the scroll plates better. But, I was born in 1952 so it might be cool to have one my age. Then there are the Centennials.

Anyway, I told DH that this is like all the cats we have had through the years - you don't really have to look too hard as they will find us :-)
Welcome aboard, but be careful, this shop causes quite an addition to vintage machines!

Singer actually advertised the 201 as the finest machine manufactured by Singer. I have yet to get a 201, but you are right they seem to find us. I started out just getting one treadle, now I have over 20 vintage machines! The sad thing is, I have no desire to quit!
