Congratulations! I bought one of those “All Or None” sewing machine collections back in October 2009. It was a 20-foot container full of machines on shelves around three sides and the floor full of cabinets. I couldn’t get into the container to see what all was there. I was only able to stand at the doorway on my tiptoes to see what I could from there.

It took me 7 trips with a full-sized pickup (8-ft bed) and camper shell to haul them all home. I used plywood to “layer” two levels of them for a couple of loads. At the end, I used (and filled) an 18-foot carhauler trailer for the last load of scrapped treadle cabinets that were in a separate shed that the seller threw in for nothing.

Turned out to be 217 machine heads and 32 cabinets in the bunch. It sure got me into the vintage sewing machine business in a big way!
