Default MY Sears Minnesota sewing machine!

Well, not yet but it will be one day. I started quilting 12 years ago. Last year I got the Featherweight bug. Then I found this sight and got the antique bug. I now own a 201 and 15_91 both in cabinets and found locally for $75 and $80. Then I found out I needed the 301. I got that last week on eBay. We got to my aunt's home in AZ yesterday and what do I find? Well, I have ignored this piece of furniture for years and now with MY new obsession I ask "What is it?" A Minnesota made by singer. Also a great story how my aunt acquired it. The pully system is broken to pull it up but I now remember seeing the machine years ago and what a beautiful machine it is. My aunt has never sewn. She says it is mine as soon as she downsizes. That is OK. I don't have room right now anyway! The cabinet is in perfect, beautiful condition. She likes antiques and that is why she spent $50 on it 40 years ago. I didn't mention I grew up in Minnesota!
