I think you qualify. I got started with a Singer 201 about 5 years ago and my collection has grown to about 100. Thank goodness for my son's big storage room in his house. Most of mine are dated in the 30's -60's, however I do have an 1887, I believe that is the date, Singer Coffin Top and an original Singer Hand Crank from England. I think it is time for me to stop. I should probably find some good homes for some of them but I just can't seem to part with them when I think about doing that.
