I have a homeless cat, after 8 yrs of hanging around here. she thinks it's my job to supply the food..
well she eat all hers up two days ago, I wasn't going to town (14 miles ) til sat. About 12;30 today I get this look as if she's going to pass out from hunger. You know the look.
so I need some chain saw oil, away I go . This is the big dunebuugy weekend here, millions of people traveling this hyway. oh boy I see a yard sale in the middle of no where .. I did spend $2 there ..
Take care of the oil and cat chow. leaving that town is a shopee / junk store ...I know she has two treadle stands but never ask her the price. I ask.
Nowwwww, were talking sewing machines, she tells me about another lady that has this same type store and she's quiting selling out...she has very nice thing in her store . But. at her home is a shop full of junk AND there's a old falling apart treadle stand and machine there .. There's a bit more .
also this is a country area the town may have 800 people. as it happens the guy cleaning and setting up a sale from the house was just there, I chased him down we go look,
this treadle machine turns out to be an american sewing machine co, stand, with a wood planner mount on top, the peddle and flywheel is gone.. but there's a dome top case sitting there , which has a free westinghouse VS machine inside with all the goodies, it looked very good as far as color and decals. $20 passed on thos I have that same type machine, different name.. But there is this rusted out New Home in a very old home made base. when ask how much , he said take it, you gave me a ride home, he was riding a bike today it's over 90 degrees.
on the way I went back to the shopee to show N tell the lady with my happy face..
Oh boy now the big score , she tells me the story, most has already been sold,
what she has left is 13 pairs of mens pants HUGE pants like size 50+ there Dickies, keys and carharts, so denim blue and black, There huge pants some are new, the rest very close to being new, I know very well there a good two kings sized quilts in these..
There price was $6.50 usd
all this because of that Homeless cat, anyone want a cat !!
I had a fun day, Thank you cat . O cats name is " cat" or rat cat
I bought this for that cat so she could learn to whistle while you work or I work
seems like someone has posted this same machine, There's an S on the bottom. wonder if it's a standard
Don't laugh ( to much ) I payed $5 for a New Home 15 x's rustier than this is , it now works
This one was free.. most the treadles I have started out about like this one
