I had helped my DD and DSIL move a day or two ago...she had told me she had an older machine "out there somewhere" and asked me if I wanted it when she found it. Well, OF COURSE! This IS the home for abandoned old things, etc. So imagine my surprise when we finally unearthed a 1910 Singer Phoenix in a treadle that's in near perfect condition...the machine head needs some refinishing but she's gorgeous! She's my third shuttle machine and I have to find a shuttle for her but that should be easy to do on Ebay. ALso need a treadle belt. I'm so happy!!
