But I had to promise my hubby that I wouldn't buy any more. He said that they'd have to be paying me to take them for me to get any more machines. I do have a 1939 FW, that I got in May, an old serger (yard sale) in June, and my 1928 99 in Aug., and now this one in Oct. I guess that's quite a few in a short amount of time!!
Janis I am so happy that you are getting your 'dream' machine, the 1945 FW, but you know that 1939 FW is something to be proud of. They didn't start making the FW's until 1933 so those really early ones are especially nice to own! I have a 1935 - first run - of that year, a 1939, 1953, and 2- 1964's - love em!

I love my little 1939, and wouldn't part with it for anything. She stays and will welcome her little 1945 sister to the family. Now to get my hubby interested in sewing..... then more could join the family! Really, I'm happy to be able to get the ones I have. And this one is from the only run of 1945, my birth year, and the first run since the July, 1941 run is really special to me.
