While I love antiques and find them beautiful I don't understand what people are using them for. Many are missing parts and I've never seen one that I considered easily portable...
What am I missing?

I think its the same as men buying antique cars. The older models bring back memories, look different than modern ones and are fun to own, work on, use etc.
I can say all this from experience. My ex and I owned 4 antique cars. Now it's my turn with antique sewing machines. Costs much less than his cars! :D
