Well the Skype call came through and I'm so tempted now.....it's real pretty!
No picture to post yet, but it works. She turned the handwheel and the needle went up and down. It has all the plates and the spool pin. Plus a neat wooden box full of accessories. The box opened up like it was unfolding - pretty cool.
It's a Singer. It said USA June 14, 1910 Feb 21, 1899 and also G3684552. It had floral decals on it which looked real nice. It's in a cabinet with 4 drawers. The top of the cabinet has seen better days but I've done some minor wood touch ups before, I think I could make it look better.
Tempted......so is it a decent machine? (for free!!) She's ok waiting until my visit in February before doing anything. I'll have to figure out how to thread this machine before then so I can truly test it out. Where am I going to put it???
