I am in Ukraine with my friend and she knows that I love collecting vintage sewing machines.

The Soviets sure had some interesting sewing machines such as the Tikka (looks like a Singer 15) that was made in Finland, which I wanted to take home except it's a treadle and I can't see taking that on the airplane. [ATTACH=CONFIG]309118[/ATTACH]


Looking at one of their local websites I found what I think is a Singer 48K. Is it a 48K and if it is are needles easy to find? One other question, do you think I am a little crazy thinking about carrying this sewing machine on the airplane with me? [ATTACH=CONFIG]309119[/ATTACH]
