This post made me chuckle --- I am definitely on the lookout for older, interesting machines ... I have three FW and a Singer that belonged to my mother-in-law (not sure of the model, would have to uncover the cabinet), my great grandmother's White treadle (is that spelled right?) and a White Rotary that I purchased at a yard sale last summer for $40 just because I had to have it ... I was even able to convince my husband that it was a great buy!!! He never complains when another machine comes into the house -- he may have to give up his hobby room if this keeps up --- lol
