I went to the flea market yesterday finally with hubby and a neighbor, after about 15 min looking I came across an singer in a table...look closer and knew it was an 221 with blue badge (1951) ask the price, he said 100 and then after looking at my shocked face...said 75?? Of course I took it!! Table has a big faded area but if great study shape. Cleaned it up some and ran it, it's quiet and purring along! t was hopping all over rest of trip being excited! It's so hard to find any machines at a decent price.
