My friend had a 99k Handcrank -1949 that she showed me 3 yrs ago. Hubby and I drooled over it. She finally got over her withdrawls as she got if from a friend that died. We traded computer work and sewing for it so last week
she brought it over. Been moved around a lot last 3 yrs but I could touch up the bentwood case. My friend doesn't sew but I think she felt by letting it go she was loosing a part of her other friend. She knows that I was happy to add to my vintage collection and will treat it with respect. Other 99 is 1955 electric in case. A good condition Singer 201 would finish my wishes ---as far as I know now !!!!!!!
Soon I will be adding pics but not tonight.
