I think the Red Eye machines are so pretty - the one I have was my very first vintage machine that was bought at an auction about 40 years ago. I had no interest or idea about vintage machines, let alone how to work a treadle, but when the auctioneer opened it up, I fell in love. She just sparkled with her bright red and gold decals and the cabinet was pristine. I lugged her home and she has been with me ever since, just purring away.
- that was the beginning of my love affair with the wonderful mechanics and beauty of vintage/antique machines.
