Default Couldn't pass it up

I got followed home by a 185K today. I tried to leave it but it was only $14.99 so I had to take it home. Cleared a giant thread jam and it moves fine! Haven't threaded it up yet to see how it sews, though.

It's dirty - has lots of little spots on it that I think are some kind of mold. Little bit scraped up too, although the box base is nice. (Maybe not original?) Manual, but no attachments or case. It also came with a toffee recipe and a bunch of vacuum belts. LOL

I threw a little oil on it and ran it a bit, heading out for the evening; tomorrow I'll give it a good cleaning and see how it sews. Its owner was apparently named Kathy, so here's my newest machine, Kathy:

I also got this little folding iron for five bucks, same thrift shop. Brand new and has that nice little plaid bag - will fit nicely in my sewing tote.
