Default It followed me home. Honest!

Okay, can any of you machine gurus fill some gray matter for me? This cabinet caught my eye - though there is nothing ugly 'bout the machine either. I'm having a tough time locating information about this breed of machine.

There was tons of notions: elastic banding for lingere (?sp), a socket-to-oulet adapter,
hunk of beeswax, a wool coat tag dated 1964, a few attachments, three Boye needle cases with needles included, an assortment of wooden spools, several bobbins and lots of bits and parts that truly make me wonder if this machine didn't belong to a working seamstress.

Cabinet and bonnet are in very good shape. Machine has a bit of silvering but still in good shape. Clean. I'd say she was well treated.

(Darest I even mention the two other machines that came here lately - all inside of one week. No More, Ms. d!)

best,
d
