My New/Old Machine
Found this on craigslist in the next city over. SO I was able to take a look at her before I bought. She needs a new belt, but everything turned nicely. I'll give her a spa day in probably June unless I hit a gold mine. I've been saving up for a treadle and she fit the bill. Cabinet is not in perfect condition, but I won't refinish it. The decals are in fairly decent shape as well. Can't wait to run some fabric through her to see the stitching. My sewing machine maintenance/repair expert said she's a 1925, and a major workhorse. Said I was lucky to find one locally. True, we don't get many on the market. The younger woman who sold it said it was her grandmother's. She remembered her mother doing some sewing on it, but she doesn't sew at all. So she was getting ride of it. LUCKY ME.
