66-16 yard sale find
My granddaughter and I went to yard sales this weekend. We got a Singer 66-16 in a cabinet with all attachments for $40. It runs like a dream and was in excellent condition. All decals are bright and intact. No rust or crazing. The top of the cabinet needs some work because of sun fading, but doesn't even have nicks or scratches. We worked on cleaning and DH already got a kit to refinish the cabinet. We had a blast trying all the attachments and taking a trip down memory lane for me. The owner is relocating closer to her kids and remembered when her husband bought it for her after the war. She thought it was 1948, which is in line with the serial number. She outfitted four kids with it and herself for years. She is taking her newer machine with her. We really enjoyed her stories. When we left her house my Sarah said, "I could have listened to her all day." Sarah is 10 and a budding sewer.
