Yesterday I was going to take a trip to the Niagara Falls area (2 hours away from me) to pick up a Singer 301A that I had bought for $40 dollars...included in this price was the machine, the stool, the cabinet AND a really neat (to me) bobbin cabinet...all he wanted was $40...so I couldn't pass it up...
So...Friday night I thought that since I was going to be in the area I would check and see if there were any ads on Kijiji for neat stuff...I found a 1961 Singer Fetherweight 221 advertised for $200...when I called about it the lady said she wanted $100..so I agreed to go and see it...of course I bought it...I also found an ad for an antique sideboard and hutch and 2 chairs for a grant total of $100, which my husband is picking up tomorrow and he will refinish them...I love them...
the best news... I get home and check out the serial no. on my featherweight and it is not a 1961 but indeed a 1958...my birthyear...and a VERY DIFFICULT year to find featherweights so I had given up on that...I was a happy lady last night....
If anyone has any info about that little bobbin cabinet..or can tell me who made it or if you have a similar one I would really like to know how old it is etc..there is no name on it or any other info...
