I miss my older ones but at least the new home has been a great machine. After seeing how in demand they are on the QB I see now why his jaw dropped and he grabbed and ran. They were both in excellent conditions. One was made in 1952. all tachments and manuals. my parents bought them for 50 dollars for me to learn on. The one in the cabinet had what I called a torpedo bobbin amd the brand was white even though it was black.
Glad you remembered about them have fun.
If it wasn't for the quilting board over the past year, I might have eventually just donated it to someone, not realizing what a treasure I had! Phew!! It has been fun. I'm sorry to hear your story but I always think the hunt for something special is as much fun as finding it, so maybe you can start searching and find replacements one day. And in the meantime continue to enjoy your New Home. My first machine was a Singer I gave to my daughter long ago and she still uses it. Full size and she says made in 1935.
