The owner of the free machine just called. It is a Ruby, not a Singer, so it must be a New Home or another National. She asked if I still wanted it. Why not? It should fit better in the house. Of course, it's going smack dab in the center of the kitchen for cleaning first.

The machine just arrived. It's a little rust bucket. I will have to decide whether it's worth cleaning or not. The irons do move freely. I don't see a name anywhere and the only number is on the slide plate, so it's probably a part number. It's weird. The machine lifts up from back to front and a wood insert comes, too. Little mystery machine.
