I immediately thought FW and asked to see the machine! Anyway, to make a long story short this is what I got for $125 - allotted on February 15, 1939, a FW with her card like table, her attachments, and the power cord/foot pedal. We have to replace the power cord. I was, and still am, really excited and guilty feeling because I didn't tell her what she had! I just gave her the $125, got the machine and table, thanked her, and left! I was not even trying to find another FW!

I posted her picture in the photo shop too! The machine behind the FW is my Singer 15-88 treadle.
Wow girl!! How lucky are you!!! Don't feel guilty. She set a price and you paid it. I'm sure she's happy with getting her full price.
