My dh and I went to an auction recently and found an old Singer. We are pretty sure it's from the 50s. It needed a belt and a bobbin winder piece (little rubber tire thing ) and some lubing up. Well it works. We were going to try and sell it, but when he asked me if I could use it, I couldn't pass it up. I love this little machine. She sews great. I am so pleased. Just had to share, Gina
