Let's see: I have 7 Singers (vintage) plus 1 bought when I got married 25 yrs ago. I have 2 Necchi BU's; 1 Bernina 117L; a plastic piece of crap going to a niece; 1 Morse; 1 Federal (japanese); 1 Bel Air (made in Occupied Japan); and 1 Apartment Electric. I also have a National Two Spools treadle. Plus I have a lead on several other vintage machines - it is a disease and I have caught the bug big time. I also forgot my daughter's vintage Singer. That makes 17 machines.

I love the vintage mchines for the way they sew and I am thinning the herd but gifting them to friends who like vintage machines and need a machine but can't afford the $$ for even a thrift shop machine. I clean them up, oil them, sew something with them and gift them away. I would love to gift away my wedding Singer but doubt that DH would be either happy or understanding of that. He does support my obsession. I also support his obsession with tools and more tools and yard toys.
