This is probably the *coolest* sewing machine I've ever seen! It's not mine; it belongs to my aunt, who bought it on eBay and had it shipped to me, so I could take it to my osmg. ThingOne will be pony-expressing back to her when he goes back home this week. In the meantime, I get to pet it, and lust after it, and...

It's a Morse Fotomatic IV/4400. (I've seen it called either.) It looks like a late 50's Buick dashboard to me, with all the chrome and levers and whatnot. This one is fantastically clean, quiet, just purrs right along, and it came with a box of a dozen or so feet, some bobbins, etc.

The case is a little ratty, but the non-original plastic one it came in was absolutely beat. My osmg had this one knocking around in his parts pile, so he swapped them out. It's not pretty, but it's intact, and an original Morse case. Aunt Suzi will be thrilled.

Now I want one! :-P
