H aha ha... Afew years ago, a guy said rod ( the son ) was telling him of the machines his dad has ( fred)
Now fred is an old junker, he tosses nothing out. in about 1986/7, ol fred had a junk sale, I stopped by, talking to Fred about the old days. He lived by me back then, when I was maybe 12 years old Fred sold me my first car ( $25. 1941 mercury 4 door )
So
Old Fred just had to take me on a tour of his and the wifes junk collection. we're talking barn huge chicken coop. a school bus full of dolls.
And then
an other schools with shelf's window high. packed with old sewing machines and bee's. Fred keep telling me to get up in there and look. between the Bee's a 98 degree day and climbing over top all those machines . I passed on that .. now remember what I saw, there had to have been 15/20 machines with the curved style arm. everything else was black and gold.
Now we go to a smaller chicken coop where he had the good ones. LOLOL.... ok good means in cabinets.
yes there were afew white box machines, again who knows how many treadles were in there . alot.
welp fred got old, son cleaned up the property.. school buses, and anything metal went to the scrap yard
This happened about a year before scrap prices went sky high.
fred is now 90+ lives in a new double wide, the old house is still there and still full of junk, The type of people that only have trails through the junk inside the house.
you know very well that place is packed full of treasures
